Hey Kendra,

I'm so glad you have a diagnoses and it will take time to really sink in. As far as the mestinon goes, pretty much the same thing happened to me. The Dr. just had me stop for a few days and start over with a very small dose and work my way up till the symptoms were relieved. I too am very sensitive to meds, so even after all these years of taking it, I sometimes need very little. I also have all the lovely side effects, so the less I need to take, the fewer the side effects. Point is, you should be able to find the amount that works for you. Talk with your neuro...I don't see why he wouldn't let you try again before going on to other meds. Also, I have to take mine with food and a full glass of water. That helps with the side effects for me. It's always difficult in the beginning, but it will get easier...just give it some time. Take care.

Big Hugs,
Pat
