Switching from Tacrolimus to Cyclosporine post kidney transplant

@stephanierp thanks for this, Stephanie! So if I understand you, your meds were not reduced until 2 1/2 years after your transplant? What was the reason for going off prednisone? If you don’t mind saying, it’s OK if you do. 🙂

@benedict66066 Oh, I went off Prednisone because I was concerned about long-term effects of a steroid and my doctor said he was comfortable with me going off of it. I think different transplant centers have different protocols. Mine said it was ok.

Sorry for confusion.
My initials meds were reduced over the course of a few months.
I went off prednisone after a year.
And changed from Tac to Cyclosporine 3 and 1/2 years ago.
