Called my new neuro and he said the same as you. So I will cut back on my Mestinon.
I found out that resting between work really helps so I do hard work (Yard) then use computer etc. for a while then back and forth. Have not had any problems driving so far.
I can't get over the fact that it started so long ago and I did not notice thinking it was normal.

Do you notice increased sweating, too?
Have you seen your new neuro yet? I think it would be a good idea to call either them or your other doc, let them know what you have noticed while on both meds and see if they think you should cut down the Mestinon.
