Do you all take your mestinon 3 or 4 times daily?How am I going to be able to know when my dosage is right 1/2 to 2 tabs daily- will I know if I have too much-Can I expect to have increased strength & duration with increased medication or just not as much measurable weakness?

I think dosage goes with individual need, what ever the dose, just so it is evenly spread throughout the day. I think you are doing fine as long as you are feeling better.
