I have searched and read several posts on this topic, but would like to ask about how those who do take Mestinon use it each day.

I can see there are 2 types of instructions that have been given by their doctors. It seems that one group takes it as directed at a fixed dosage and time everyday, the other group seems to have some more flexibility on dosage and how often to take it.

Recently after my first IVIG I had a pretty good response to the IVIG and felt I could reduce my dosage. My doctor does give me an amount she would like me to take each day and allows me to adjust the dosage upwards as needed a fair amount to a maximum of 8 tablets a day (normally 4)

What are your thoughts on taking less than let's say the recommended 4 tablets a day if you are doing well?

Is it bad to stop and restart the med?

Thanks.

Joe
