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

They act perplexed when asked but my research has shown that both Tacrolimus and Prednisolone are both capable of causing psychosis. I am very sensitive to most medication and usually experience the worst side effects.

Yes, they act perplexed with me as well! 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.
