Sweating after taking Mestinon is actually a known side effect — it falls under what's called a "muscarinic effect" of the medication. This happens because Mestinon works by boosting nerve-to-muscle signaling, which can also stimulate sweat glands as a side effect.
Sweating can sometimes be a sign that the dose may be a bit high for your body at that time. Other signs that might suggest too much Mestinon include:
- Nausea or stomach cramps
- Diarrhea
- Increased saliva or mucus
- Muscle twitching or cramps
- Weakness It's worth mentioning this to your neurologist, especially since you're also on prednisone. They may want to review your Mestinon dose or timing. One MGteam member shared that adjusting the dose frequency (rather than the total amount) made a big difference in managing side effects.
Don't ignore it if the sweating feels excessive or comes with worsening muscle weakness — that would need prompt medical attention.
