All I know for sure is this --- as long as I drink a LOT, I do NOT have this problem. I am a frequent bathroom visitor (urination) -- small price to pay for being able to swallow.

I take one pill every 2 to 4 hours during the day -- and one AT bedtime. I have NO problem with Mestinon keeping me awake. I do NOT take Timespan or any other Mestinon during the night. I take one AS SOON as I get up in the morning. I usually put the pills under my tongue and let them dissolve. (Forgive me if any of this is a "repeat" -- I tend to get "lost" in forum threads.)
