Headache after ATG, on oral steroids and cyclosporine

My son was diagnosed with SAA 1 month ago. We completed 4 ATG treatments on July 1. Ten days ago he began having severe headaches. The doctors have prescribed Vicodin which does help the headaches but only to return in approx 5 hours. He is on a tapering dose of Prednisone. Today he will start taking 50 mg. Doctors are lowering his dose by 25mg every 7 days. He is on Cyclosporine 300mg every am and 200mg every evening. We are in a horrible cycle of headache.. Vicodin.. nap... headache... nap. This is not good in a 21 year old college student. Looking for suggestions.
