Hi. How much Mestinon did you take, and how close together? It may have been too much. When I take 60mg (one pill) I get weaker. But if I take 30mg, I get stronger. Mestinon is like that. The proper dose varies from person to person.

I take Imuran and Plaquenil (for the Lupus).

Has anyone heard of these Mestinon side effects? My main symptom is muscle weakness and fatigue. I do have a weak eye muscle, but not Ptosis.

Thank you for your help......
