When I asked if I should take 8pm dose he said I could try it and see what happens and go to ER if needed. It has been 90 min and no change in numbness. It feels like novacaine in lips. Otherwise I feel ok just a little queasy. Anyone had anything like this with mestinon?
Thanks

Hello Sandy, Smart girl to call him!! I like the doctor.
Tingling and queasy from mestinon, sure, an allergy to it?...possibly. Watch for swelling in the tongue, lips around your face--that's concerning.
Your symptoms can be attributed to quite a number of things, but at this point, whatever is unusual to you (and I know you are new at this) or whatever doesn't feel right to you, or if you are at all concerned, listen your doctor. And I know YOU will....
