@taco I am a liver and kidney recipient, and haven't exprienced the platelet drop that you describe. At 17 years post transplant, I am taking Tacrolimus and Mycophenolate with lowered doses than when I first received my transplant. However, I have on several occassion over the years experienced a return of the shakiness, difficulty concentrating or focusing on what I'm supposed to be doing, and feelings of anxiety that are not my normal behavior. Sometimes my labs are repeated, and sometimes my Tacro dose has been lowered (with a repeat lab).
It is worth remembering that each of us is different and will react differently to our medications. I see that you want to discuss this with your doctor. When have you last discussed this with your doctor? How often are your labs drawn?
Why don't you contact your transplant team now if these side effects are interfering with your daily living?
