No improvement, no side effects.

Chronic Illnesses: POTS Dysautonomia
Symptoms Treated: Dysautonomia - No change - Longer

I tried Mestinon 60 mg/day after getting medical advice and reading some testimonials from the long Covid community. The medication is relatively safe and inexpensive, so it felt worth trying. Unfortunately, I didn’t notice any improvement, but at least there were no side effects.

side effects

Chronic Illnesses: Long COVID
Symptoms Treated: Dysautonomia - No change
Side Effects Experienced: Fatigue

My hrv improved while I was on it but it was too short of an experience to have other positive effects. I experienced too many side effects so had to stop. Just felt way more tired more malaise and leg cramps

Profound improvement of dysautonomia with tolerable side effects

Chronic Illnesses: Long COVID
Symptoms Treated: Dysautonomia - Improved but only during treatment
Side Effects Experienced: Bronchial Secretions

It significantly improved my tachycardia, lightheade­dness upon standing up, hypoglycemia, and cold/heat intolerance. It also really helped my MCAS. It does cause significant bronchial secretions so I always feel like I'm coming down with a chest cold, but I've managed to tune it out.
