I have the Adaport (Tacrolimus) shakes, it is quite severe but it is not just my hands, its my head, even feel as if my innards are shaking, legs shake. So I mean everything shakes..some days are worse than others but they have never stopped for any period of time since I have been taking the TAC..my husband says I even twitch all the time in my sleep.

@janni1, Welcome to Connect. I have had tremors related to tacrolimus, too. As a 13 year transplant recipient, my tremors are mild and occasional. When I had tremors early in my post transplant history, they were a nuisance. However, what you describe sounds like more than a nuisance.
If you are a recent transplant recipient, you should begin to feel relief as the tacrolimus and other medications are lowered to a maintenance level.
When did you receive your transplant?
