I have Myasthenia Gravis that affects my vision, speech, swallowing, breathing and muscle strength as well as stamina and co-ordination. I'm taking the slow release 180mg when I get up and a 1/2 (90mg) at bed. At times I take a 1/2 of a 60mg tablet if I feel I need to between pills. You need both dosages and should not fear taking a 1/2 60mg to restore normalcy and confidence. I'm not awar ... Show Full Comment

I have Myasthenia Gravis that affects my vision, speech, swallowing, breathing and muscle strength as well as stamina and co-ordination. I'm taking the slow release 180mg when I get up and a 1/2 (90mg) at bed. At times I take a 1/2 of a 60mg tablet if I feel I need to between pills. You need both dosages and should not fear taking a 1/2 60mg to restore normalcy and confidence. I'm not aware of any side affects. It is important to reduce the MG affects as much as possible.

I may go back down to half tabs twice a day if the side effects can be reduced, but still be effective. Disappointed in the side effects!

This medication is supposed to strengthen muscles. I have not noticed any change. If I don't take it with food I get severe stomach cramps, sweat, can't breathe, can't talk, can't swallow. I get the WORST charlie horses in every part of my body. I can actually say I hate taking this medicine. I had a droopy eyelid before I was diagnosed with MG. It has gone away. That is the only good thing that has come out of me taking this medicine. I asked my former dr if there was anything else for me to take and she pretty much told me "No". I feel better when I don't take my medicine.
