Guest guest Posted July 21, 1999 Report Share Posted July 21, 1999 Barbara, the Cellcept is used in place of the AZA. At Mayo they triple-immunosuppress you. So I am on the Neoral, Cellcept, and prednisone. But right now I am on a prednisone taper to be weaned off by Sept. 29th. I am on 2 mgs per day then on July 29th I go to 1mg per day then Aug 29th to 1 mg every other day. then off on Sept. 29th. I have to have my labs done very 3 weeks while on the taper. they are real conservative about the taper. I am having the fatigue and the joint aches, but they are not real ,real bad. TTFN~ Lori C.
