Default Adverse Reaction to Mestinon

Today I had a pretty bad reaction to Mestinon, and in restrospect it happened yesterday too but I didn't realize it was the Mestinon until I put two and two together today. I am supposed to take 60 mg every 6 hours.

I took it at 6 am and noon. After the noon dose both yesterday and today I got these symptoms:

Extremely weak and shaky all over, tremors, saliva to the point of almost drooling, unable to talk normally and feeling like my tongue was all swollen, tingling everywhere, feeling almost like little electric shocks going on everywhere, throat feeling like it's closing up, more effort to breathe, headache, nausea, dry heaves, trembling all over, barely able to walk, unable to use hands, jumping eyes

It took about four hours for the symptoms to abate. My neuro is moving to CA tomorrow and I need to find a new one so I'm really kind of hanging in the balance right now. Should I go back to every 8 hours or cut the pills in half? It was really scary and I'm afraid to take the 6o mg now.
