Meds changed!

[Dara3351]

My new nephrologist changed my meds and took me off of Prednisone! So happy! The weight gain was ridiculous! So I am back on 750 mg of mycophenolate twice a day and Tacrolimus 1 mg in the am and 2 in the evening. Hoping this stops the vomiting episodes! Also going to labs bi-weekly...Hoping to not have as many episodes of intense sweating! Trying not to feel so blah... and sometimes that’s a struggle? Anyone else feel like they just want to be a couch potato? I keep pushing to stay active!

How long after your transplant was the Prednisone stopped ?

I initially was was not on prednisone. I was having issues with bouts of vomiting so they reduced my mycophenolate to two in the am and two in the pm. Then added 10 mg of prednisone. My nephrologist took me off and then increased mycophenolate to three in the am and three in the pm. 750 mg in am and pm. I think it was in my 5th month

It was introduced in my 4th month and stopped 6 weeks later
