Hi, interesting that you don't take pred any more. Sounds like it hasn't affected liver function / tests. I don't like drugs so take minimum due to symptoms and long term side effects. I think I could reduce or even stop my Pred as well. I used to get swollen feet which stopped when I reduced. My MMF is at minm dose 250 mg bd but I have side effects with my concentration and memory plus it can damage the liver so I would like to reduce that as well, sad to say the medics are not supportive. I was surprised and pleased that you could talk to them about reducing tac dose and they were prepared to do a trial for you. Mostly / always no comment I get ignored about side effects and the mind set is disease progression and rejection.
I am a kidney transplant post 7years. I recently read a research paper from Tokyo Japan med. Center of 554 patients on low dose tac 4 - 6 and there was no correlation between the level and patients who did or did not have rejection events. Tac trough target levels change depending on time of transplant, per / post. Personally I think the medics are more concerned with law suits for under dosing than side effects of medication, long or short term.
