I’m not sure about heavy sweating, but I know Faye definitely stays warmer than before they put her on Mestinon. She used to wear a coat or jacket every day, even in the summer! Now she often wears just a light-weight short-sleeve top. And she has told me about a few times when she was surprised she had felt really hot.

I have been on mestinon for 23 years now. i take 60 mg 4 times a day. At this time it is working very well and I plan on making an appointment with the neurologist just check in. As far as side effects. I really haven't had any other than occasional diarrhea that doesn't last long. As far as the sweating, i am not sure if it was the medicine as I went through menopause shortly after being diagnosed. I was 40 when I found out i had mg and had a 16 month old baby to take care of. The drs think that the pregnancy brought the mg to the surface.
