Mestinon...too much?

I was wondering if u guys new whether or not too much mestinon can make
u weaker?

My doc had me on 1/2 pill yet I took a whole one today and I have been excersizing for the last two days, so maybe it is that that is making me weaker, or if it was the medicine that did it

I have been having trouble lifting grocery bags, walking through the store, and going up the stairs. Also eating food takes a while to go down.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Hi tyson,

Yeap, too much Mestinon can make you weaker. What's 'too much' depends on each person's own unique chemistry/body...SO 60mgs every 3-hours is okay for me, but maybe not for you.

Hey Tyson, (((hugs))) I'm just going to agree that both, all the extra exercising, and the mestinon can make you weaker.
You may need to rest for a few days. It does sound like your body needs to recoup.
Remember me telling you that I have this saying, and quite frankly am thinking it should have been a banner for MG.. "No Good Day Goes Unpunished"
I hate it, but it's true with our bodies. I think it's because we over do, and over work our bodies.
It's one of the reasons I sound like a broken record about getting to know your body, and it's limits.
It may take awhile, but you'll get the hang of it.
Love and hugs :hug:
