OK, so I have a few more questions if you all don't mind. How do you tell if the Mestinon is working if you don't have daily symptoms? I suppose I could push myself and then see how I feel. Also, I had taken 30 mg twice a day for two full days without any real problems. Last night after I took my pill I felt really weird. I hadn't ate a real meal in about five hours and I'd had a candy bar about an hour or two before. I know I should have ate something when I took the pill. Anyway, I ended up getting panicky I have had panic attacks before, so I suppose that it could be what was going on, but the Lexapro I'm on usually blocks those.

I don't want to stop taking it when whatever happened might not have even been caused by the medication. I could have just had low blood sugar. The weird feelings passed within a few hours. So what would you do? Would you keep taking it? I did take only 15 mg earlier today and am getting ready to take 15 more now. Also, is the Mestinon something you can take before you exert yourself or can it work after the fact?

Thanks a bunch!
