Default Solumedrol
Hey all,
Recently diagnosed with ms. Have been started on 5. Day pulse therapy of 1gram solumedrol. My neuro says there is no need for weaning dose, I hear a lot of people say its needed. What should I expect without a wean dose? Any info will help I am scared out of my tree
Thanks
Chris

Some Neuros believe in a weaning dose to make it easier to withdraw from
the high doses of IVSM and some don't think it's necessary. I don't know
why, but I've had it both ways, in the past, and I prefer the taper.

Hope it works for you.

the first time I had IVSM, they didn't give me a oral taper to wean myself off of it. I was so sick for about a week. It really really sucked. All the other IVSM treatments I've had, I asked for the taper. It's a lot easier to deal with that way.
