Default Does Mestinon help after you have done too much?

OK, I know I'm suppose to be taking a certain amount of Mestinon everyday (60 mg 3 x's a day). I'm ramping up and not nearly where my dr wants me to be.

Today, I had a real scary episode. I had been at a women's conference for church for about three hours this morning and was there for three hours last night. I did get a good nights sleep which was a blessing because I know I needed it. Anyway, by the time I got home I was so very weak. I just had to get in bed! I ate a quick lunch first and I was having trouble chewing, but I did finish my meal. By the time got in bed I was having a hard time talking and it was hard to breathe. I just didn't have the energy, I was so weak. It was very scary. I ended up sleeping for about two hours. So I guess what I want to know is would it have helped me if I would have taken more Mestinon at that point?

Thanks for any input. Sorry to be asking so many questions.
