trice125 Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 How long before you started noticing a difference with salt loading and/or Mestinon? I started salt loading with drinking 1 liter of Gatorade a day along with adding more salt into my diet 2 weeks ago. I also started taking 60mg of Mestinon once a day last Monday and will increase it each week until I get to 60mg three times a day. This is all new to me though so I'm interested in others experiences with these treatments and how long it normally takes to see a difference with them.

Guest Alex Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Mestinon worked for me almost instantaneously. I have a hard time tolerating the side effects though. Plus I'm on propranolol as well and the combo drops my HR to 40's at times - my dr isn't concerned with the numbers, but I don't feel comfortable with such a low rate.Salt loading didn't work well for me. The florinef + salt combo made me hypertensive. You might try some searches for mestinon and/or salt loading on the forum. These topics have been extensively discussed here in the past.Good luck finding the right treatment for you.Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
