Hi Wondergirl,

I dont know where I read it but it would probably be under gulf war stuff. I know the USA gave its soldiers mestinon to protect them against nerve gas etc. I can remember reading that they suffered side effects of sickness, runny bottoms, excessive salivation. Mestinon overdose can also cause problems breathing.

This was always my argument with my GP, if a healthy person took the amount of mestinon I was taking they would be very ill. I suffered very little side effects.

Plus mestinon is used to increase the blood pressure in people who have low blood pressure on standing. I certainly notice my BP is normal when on mestinon and stupidly low when I am not on it.

Hope this helps
Rach
