Unfortunately, @sueinmn I have no choice, it's part of my immunotherapy. They are trying me on a half dose -- 2.5mg -- so hopefully that will help. They follow my lab numbers very scrupulously so I trust that what they recommend is what is best for me, post-transplant.

Yes, there are times we have to weigh risk/benefit. I was in the same situation with NSAIDs and arthritis until my body said "STOP!" Now we're working hard to find a balance with another med that doesn't make tremors unbearable...
