mwise Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 I am taking Mestinon 60mg 3xday (9am-3pm-9pm) along with Midodrine 7.5mg 3xday (7am-12pm-5pm). I tried Florinef 1st but didn't work and was put on the Mestinon. I didn't have any side effects and it did help alittle with walking. It wasn't until I was put on Midodrine 5mg now 7.5mg that keeps me walking. I do have the side effects with Midodrine, but the benefits of being able to walk and do little things out way the side effects. I am seriously thinking of weaning off or completely stopping the Mestinon as I don't feel it is doing much of anything for me. Your thoughts, suggestions or ideas?

corina Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 hi, when i weaned off mestinon i was on 120 mg 3 times a day. i started to halve the dosage so went back to 60mg 3 times day. then i dropped the evening tablet, after that the noon tablet and in the end i stopped the morning tablet. i could do this because i was much better after i started octreotide. if you'd want to wean off more slowly you could ask for the 10 mg tablets so that you can gradualy lower your dosage. good luck,corina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
