I have given some more thought to why mestinon isn't working for you or anyone.
I read. About how to store mestinon.
It has to be kept in a cool, dark place in its original packaging.
When I started mestinon again last year because I complained it didn't work. I read up on contraindications and that's when I learned this one true thing.
I had been keeping it on my bedside table in a pill holder.
Now I keep it in the drawer in its original container from the pharmacy. And just like that problem solved.
The nurse practioner for my neurologist said I should see results in a couple hours. She was right and 2 weeks later I didn't have anymore bilateral shoulder pain. And fewer headaches.
mestinon causes foot cramps,
For me at night when I go to bed.
Fyi: foot cramps are real with mestinon.
Doc lowered my dosage and I take a shot of pickle juice when i get any type of muscle cramps.👍🏾😉😎
Stay hopeful

Wishing everyone, no matter where you are a very Happy Thanksgiving.
Enjoy the day with your Family.

Def speak with doc first
Mine lowered my dosage and it has helped foot cramps are a side effect. Let them know

I take 60 mg 3 times per day. It has helped with my speech and eye drooping.

Hi Cindy
I've been on mestinon for three weeks, beginning the day of my diagnosis. 60mg 4x a day. My neurologist said I can take more if needed as long as I'm not having intestinal issues w it. Many days I take a 5th or 6th pill. Maybe you just need more. A pill wears off for me in 2.5-3hrs. Lisa
