I am on 4, from 40 mg. It has taken me about a year and a half to get here. Currently my doctor has me slowing down the change, and I plan to go to three mg in Jan. Interesting fact, when I was first diagnosed in the hospital, we thought it was Lyme meningitis again. That said, we ruled it out, and for 3 days, I was on 1000mg a day, just so I could walk again. After that, I was on 40 mg for about a month until I could in and see a rheumatologist.
