What about

TK--- You should talk to your doctor or practitioner about this

including what supplements etc you are using before doing a

methlyprednisone a taper. Tapers if done correctly can help greatly

depending on the person, dosage and health of the person and what they

are used to treat, other times they can make things worse - this is

dependent on many factors that you and your doctor should discuss.

Do some research on using the methlyprednisone taper so you are

knowledgeable about them and then talk with your doctor again and make

sure he knows what is going on and the correct dosage etc.. for you.
