It took about four hours for the symptoms to abate. My neuro is moving to CA tomorrow and I need to find a new one so I'm really kind of hanging in the balance right now. Should I go back to every 8 hours or cut the pills in half? It was really scary and I'm afraid to take the 6o mg now.

Sounds a bit like my newbie to Mestinon story, but I could not move a muscle for about four hours. Once I was able to move a muscle, I called my HMO, and they told me to go straight to the ER. After they ran tests, I was told to reduce the Mestinon to 1/2 a pill and slowly increase back to 60mg to 3x a day.
It was hard for me to consider taking that medication, but eventually I did. Probably, about two months later and a lot of prayers.
My guess is that it was too much too soon, but you should have definitely gone to the hospital with those symptoms.
