YES, Steph, this is OFTEN noted by MGers -- one of the "fun" parts of taking Mestinon. The "trick" is to take just enough to help the "bad" part of your body -- but, not so much that it will "hurt" the "good" parts. A slippery slope, huh??

THAT is why, after a while, MANY of our docs give us carte blanche to regulate our own doses.
