Annie59, What happened to the Gulf War Vets was quite different. When taken as prescribed by a neurologist, a patient with MG should have none of the effects that the Vets did. The GW Vets also had exposure to a number of other chemicals, including pesticides. Some did have exposure to Sarin, a nerve gas.

As far as anxiety and nervousness from Mestinon, I still believe it is NOT from the drug alone.

I can find no credible evidence even suggesting that Mestinon can have this side effect of nervousness and anxiety. The "thought" of taking the drug may make some people nervous or anxious but that is not a side effect.
