Mestinon (pyridostigmine): I tried taking Mestinon when I was first diagnosed and it caused bad diarrhea. 3 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you? Yes No Report as inappropriate

Mestinon (pyridostigmine): I've taken Mestinon for 3 years, since I was first diagnosed with Generalized MG/Optical MG. There has been a great improvement in my weakness. I'm able to keep my eyes open, I don't lose my balance nearly as much, fall less often. I take it every 3 hours and if I miss a dose, the weakness increases. It's quite like taking a pain reliever for a severe headache in that it lessens the symptoms, but they will return as it wears off. 9 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you?

pyridostigmine: I WAS PUT ON THIS MEDICATION IN FEB OF 08 WHEN I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH MYASTHENIA GRAVIS. IT TOOK ABOUT A MONTH OR TWO TO GET THE DOSING RIGHT, BUT ONCE I DID IT WAS FABULOUS WITH MINIMAL SIDE AFFECTS. I LOVE THIS DRUG. IT HAS WORKED WONDERS TO KEEP MY SYMPTOMS AT A MINIMUM. 1 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you? Yes No Report as inappropriate
