She told me now to take the Mestinon 3x/day, but I didn't bother to ask her how frequently I can take it. It only seems to help for 3 hours max. Can anyone share their experience with taking Mestinon for double vision. Has it helped long term?

I'm in the same boat as you Catie.

I havn't been fully diagnosed with MG yet but I'm taking Mestinon (for about a week now) and havn't felt any difference. My only real symptom is the Diplopia which as you all probably know is very debilitating. I just want to see single again.
