Hoping to get a mestinon prescription soon as I'm already taking the maximum amount of choline that is likely to be safe, and it isn't enough. I have a referral in for a neurologist, but my appointment is weeks out. I'm on their list to call if someone cancels. Have an appointment tomorrow with my PCP, who will hopefully write the prescription to hold me over until I see the neurologist.

This is what I'm finding so far with choline supplementation:

citicoline + alpha-gpc:
usually takes 20-30 minutes to kick in, usually lasts for 4 to 8 hours.

soy lecithin or eggs:
takes 5-10 minutes to kick in, usually lasts just over an hour

choline bitartrate:
Actually makes things slightly worse. I get sweaty and agitated - hard to describe the feeling exactly, but it is very similar to taking dexamethasone when you are hypokalemic - overstimulated, but your body just can't use the stimulation for anything useful.
