Default coffee and Mestinon
My understanding is that coffee is an anticholinesterase, like Mestinon but milder. Coffee makes me stronger when I'm weak.* Mestinon doesn't. What does that suggest? All I can think of is that I've been taking Mestinon in doses that are much too large (I've tried 60mg at a time and 30). I'm going to try quartering the pills and see what happens. Any other thoughts?

*I love coffee so much that I have to use big words like "anticholinesterase" to convince my family that I'm not just joking about how good for me coffee is.
