My rheumatologist says it is time to start decreasing my Cytoxan.
I haven't read much about how people come off Cytoxan? It is a problematic as tapering off prednisone?

i did not tapper as i was taking cxt tablet form daily just stopped taking and started taking Imuran the next
but everyone is different should be done only to your needs good kuck
I was on cytoxen for year and I did not tapper, we just stopped and switched to methotrexate. I am on methotrexate for last 4 months and doing great. Good luck.
Did not taper. Just went on to Imuran.
No taper, either. I've never heard of tapering ctx. It doesn't really make sense, as it's not therapeutic below a certain dose.
Odd! I wonder why my rheumi is tapering CTX while upping my Imuran. Shall ask him...

Is your Rheumy a Wegeners specialist Flana? Ask him definitely! I am just guessing but maybe he thinking is that your on low dose of imuran and he doesn't want you to flare, so he is tapering you off the cytoxan slowly.
The second time I went on Cellcept I tapered ctx and increased the Cellcept.
