I don't do a taper anymore, either. I did once and it seemed to prolong the side effects. I would rather just crash for a day and get on with it.

Be sure you are well hydrated. Also be sure to get lots of potassium because the IVSM kind of depletes you. An MS nurse clued me into that and it has helped so much. I don't like bananas so I did some research and found canteloupe and apricots to be very high in potassium. I also found V8 with Calcium (it has to be this version to get the most potassium) to be way high in potassium.
