Transplant anti-rejection medications. What's your advice?

Prednisolone caused me to become quite violent and aggressive, I have been put on the lowest dose (5mg) that can be given to me in my situation. I believe Tacrolimus is not helping either. The problem is the specialists will not comment. I was also given Mycophenolate, and developed a melanoma and they changed it to Everolimus. But short answer yes.

My nephrologist does not think that a low (5 mg) dose of Prednisone can cause mood symptoms and will not lower the dose, but I think it interacts with Tacrolimus which they will also not lower. The psychiatric side effects of the two medications combine (especially for those with pre-existing conditions). This is my theory, and I am looking for studies of these two medications regarding these side effects.
