Default Mestinon

Here are some links that may help.
http://mestinon.com/
http://www.drugs.com/mtm/mestinon.html
http://www.fpnotebook.com/Neuro/Pharm/Mstn.htm

Maybe we should all write our experiences with Mestinon.

For me, I can't take a lot of it due to it causing me horrible GI problems. Diarrhea became my life So, I was given Welchol to help conteract the effects, and I'm down to 1 to 2 pills daily of Mestinon.

When I'm close to the time when I usually take Mestinon, I can feel my muscles start to feel weak. I even get little eye twitching, and a tad shaky feelings, which calm right down once I take a mestinon pill.

I usually can't sleep without a Mestinon. It helps my breathing at night. And boy do I notice the difference in my breathing when I don't take it.

I can't think of anything else.
Love Lizzie
