Hi Bob,

My wife was on cyclosporine (for AA) for about 2.5 years and tapered off VERY slowly over about a 6 month period. At the time (1998) the available data seemed to indicate the longer AA patients stay on cyclosporine and the slower the taper off the drug, the less recurrence of AA. That was a long time ago!

For Louise, she felt so much better as the drug's side effects wore off.

I also suggest you discuss with your doctor the need to taper instead of just cold turkey.

Vince
