Hi Trish, I am new here myself but I also feel that the taper is way to fast. I am on a relatively low dose of preds 40mg and 150mg of azathioprine also 60 mg Mestinon x4 per day. Would like to add that when starting azathioprine had to have a blood test first and then for the first month a weekly blood test to monitor my reaction to it. Also azathioprine can take months to kick in and my Neurologist wont start to taper the prednisolone until he is sure that azathioprine has kicked in.

Regards John
