Hi! I take 1 and 1/2 tabs x 3 a day... 30 min before breakfast, lunch, and supper...then I having started also taking a 180mg timespan at night as well. This makes me feel better in the morning.

I was told to keep taking this and never take the medication within three hours of the last dose...because overdosage might occur.....

I can really tell when it is time for my next dose....I feel tired and my hands and legs go weak....and my speech is affected.

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?
