Also, it is possible your muscle twitching and other uncomfortable symptoms are due to the side effect profile of
Mestinon.

Quote:
Additional side effects of MESTINON® are muscle twitching, muscle cramps and weakness. MESTINON® is mainly eliminated unchanged by the kidney. Therefore, lower doses may be required in patients with renal (kidney) disease.
If you really don't need the Mestinon, taking it would give far more side effects. This drug is quite potent, and affects the
parasympathetic nervous system, increasing acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction.
