Hi jhinuk,
I am curious why you are tapering off the cyclosporine now. Are you having serious side effects? It takes time for the marrow to repair itself. Cyclosporine is useful in supressing your immune system while this repair is going on. It seems like you had a response to the ATG/cyclosporine. So why is your doctor discontinuing the cyclosporine now? What is your current dosage? Have your counts decreased since you began tapering?
