@skjones, I would like to welcome you to Connect! I see from your profile that you received your kidney transplant in 2010 at Mayo Clinic! I received my simultaneous liver and kidney transplant at Mayo Rochester in 2009. I have had some ups-and-downs with my tacrolimnus level over the years, but not as big of a jump as you are experiencing. And , just this past spring, I had a jump (higher than my normal) trough reading that was accompanied with extreme trembling, anxiety, and lack of concentration that were affecting my daily life. My dose of tacrolimus was lowered, and extra labs indicated that my body was performing well at that level. I was approved for a lower trough range at my recent annual evaluation in May. This was a surprise to me, because my level has been stable for many years!

You are not alone - Here is a discussion where you can meet and talk with others who are sharing their tacrolimus experiences:
- Tacrolimus blood levels: Do yours vary?

Is there any discussion about a lowered tacrolimus dose? Are you having side effects?
