It could make it difficult for doctors to pinpoint problems or successes.

If you are having trouble swallowing your mestinon, ask your doctor if you can place it under your tongue, and let it melt. People find that when prescribed a whole pill, it feels "big" and so some might break it in half, and do it in two parts.
I don't mean this in a "smartie" way, but do ya REALLY think an MD is going to recommend Huperzine A? If so, let me know their name and how I can get in touch with them. With all the medical studies on Hup A by physicians in China and their success with it in treating MG, my husband started on it a week ago. It stays in your system longer than Mestinon and does the same thing. So far so good! After taking Hup A the first day, he mentioned his hand hadn't cramped at all that day, his eye didn't water, his nose didn't run, he felt less anxious and nervous, his urine was clearer (not dark like it usually is), and generally, "better". Goodby side effects from Mestinon. He hasn't experienced any of the above mentioned symptoms since stopping Mestinon. He seems to be in better spirits too. I'm not recommending it or saying stop Mestinon - just telling you my hubby's experience with it.
