I could see a difference when I took Mestinon right away. The only problem I had was some digestive issues, as long as I take it w/food. It's ok.

Seems to be helping.

The time span Mestinon seems to be helping. Being that I am still working, my job did not allow me to take medicines eery 4 hours and I would not take it regularly. With the timespan, I feel evened out more.
