Mestinon: I would consult a pharmacist before taking mestinon in view of the polypharmacy involved in your treatment. Prolonged use of mestinon has neuromuscular effects. I also would like to learn about any effects on bipolar disorder as well as possible interactions with lithium,etc. I would expect that neurologists would have much more experience with mestinon than rheumatologists do.
