I am only on 60 mg of Mestinon 3x a day.That seemed okay for the first couple of months, but it hasnt seemed to even scratch the surface lately.

Hello Sheri, There really isn't a standard, or correct amount of mestinon--it really is individual-specific and as well, it can and will take time to find an
amount that "generally" works for you. Less is truly "more" when it comes to this medication. As Kathie said, it helps to relieve symptoms. One day it's perfect, the next day it isn't, and so on. I haven't taken it for several years, having been on it for many! What worked well for me, once I and my physician fiddled with it (and that took years, and a great deal of patience) was 30 mg, every 3 to 4 hours. My physician prescribed 60 mg, only once a
day, when we began.
