Lightbulb Ocular mg

This is my first post....In September 2013 diagnosed with ocular myasthenia. Started getting double vision in May this year. It now is there all the time; had to hold head down to the left to overcome the diplopia. Since diagnosis been on Mestinon (Pyridostigmine) tablets 3 per day that's 180mg in total. Seeing the neurologist next week and I feel that I need to double the dose, as each tablet only lasts for 3 hours. Now double vision can be overcome just by slightly dipping my eyes whilst looking ahead. Physical exertion certainly plays havoc with my eyesight.
Does anyone out there recognise the symptoms and where does it go from here.
