sorry maybe I misread what you were saying.
Mestinon didnt prevent me from fainting it reduced the number of times it happened. It isnt a cure all and sometimes needs to be used in conjunction with Midodrine (another medication I cant tolerate).
The best treatment I have found so far (and Im still fainting and have POTS) is Salt Tablets, Fluid loading (sports drinks are best for this) and a progesterone only contraceptive pill.
I am reaching the end of all the medicines I can try to reduce my syncope or pre-syncope.
