Hi Jhinuk
When was your ATG? It sounds like it was maybe over 1 year ago. If I recall, some AA doctors will start tapering the cyclosporine at 6 months post ATG. Many patients still will then take a reduced dose of cyclosporine and some who had really good responses may even be able to go off of it.

However I think if the lab results start to fall during the tapering period, the doctor may choose to slow or stop the tapering for a while.

Does this sound right to everyone else?
