Good afternoon my friends:
I am glad I am here as a new member. It feels so good that somebody else understands the pain.

I was wondering your experience about Melatonin. My new neuro Doc is recommending me to use it and I am a littl bit afraid to cut down my Prednisone rigth nw (in the middle if my attack period).

She is recc 3 to 4 mg daily. any ideas?Thanks,
ilnetto

It sounds as if you're taking prednisone on a steady basis rather than as a taper. Most of us have experience with the pred taper (starting at a high level and working down daily, gradually) but in any case, don't stop on your own. Work the pred down if your tapering and I don't know of any reason why you can't take the melatonin, too. Especially if your doc has recommended it. Giuseppi (Joe) had a running post on who takes how much, and how it related to body size and weight. Agostino has summed it up pretty well, I take 15mg/night, but you might want to search for that thread, or pm Joe, if you're curious. Good luck, and God bless! lance
