I'm not a doctor, but 90 to 120 mg of Mestinon 3 to 4 times a day seems to me a curious dosage. Personnally, I would stick to the regular 60 mg pill but take it more frequently, i.e every 3 or 4 hours (every 2 hrs if necessary), could you talk to your neuro about this?
Another point, do you always take Mestinon with a little food? I think Mestinon on an empty stomach, is asking for problem.
