Hiyah Kathy   I have not had the drip as of yet.  I have only experienced taking the oral Prednisone taper.  But there is a ton of information out there about Solu-medrol which I will now share with you.   You can find information about this medication right here on Health Central if you follow this link.   In talking to my fellow MS bloggers and in reading up on Solu-Medrol I have heard the following things:    *For a lot of people it is effective in greatly diminishing your current MS symptoms.   *Some folk describe it as being transformed into the energizer bunny.  I hear it can give you quite a kick.   * Some people say they have trouble sleeping because of it and so to take it as early in the morning as possible.   * Some people say that you can suffer from withdrawls and you shouldn't just stop it suddenly.  I am sure under medical supervision, they would probably taper it.   *  There are some people who talk about a *crash* after stopping taking it... both physically and emotionally.   * I have also heard that it may lose its effectiveness if you take it too frequently.   Here is a forum thread to look at where people who have experienced getting a Solu-medrol drip talk frankly about what it is like.   I hope others who have had this experience can chime in and tell you more of their first hand experiences.    Good luck to you and it would be really beneficial to so many here if you could come back and tell us how it goes.    Thank you for your question!
