Cyclosporine Taper.

So I visited my Hematologist today and she has decided to start a taper. I am currently on 300 mg/day and as of today I will go to 200 mg/day. After two weeks I will go to 100 mg/day and then 4 weeks from now I will be off cyclosporine. I am excited yet a little apprehensive. I received my ATG treatment in April 2012 and since then have had my constant security blanket of cyclosporine. My Hgb is 13.5 and my WBC is 4.3, but my platelets went from 130 to 110 since last month. I am looking forward to better kidney functions, lower blood pressure, fewer headaches and maybe eventually playing in the dirt again. What are your thoughts or experiences with cyclosporine taper?
