@mlr733, I am happy to meet you and I want to welcome you to Connect. My transplant was 13 years ago, and I take both Cellcept and Tacrolimus. I have had the doses adjusted when my doctors notices elevated lab results. I have met recipients who have had antirejection medications changed to a different one due complications, but mine are working quite well for me.
I imagine that you are in shock! First a new doctor, and then hearing that he wants to drop one of your antirejection medications. If I were you, I would question the new doctor about "Why?" I would also question him/her about his experience with liver transplant recipients.

Do you still have contact with your transplant clinic? They should have a definite opinion about this.
When do you see this doctor again?

Thank you for your reply, the first thing that came out of his mouth after hello was " why are you still on cell cept", I replied I've always been on cell cept and tecrolimus. He said I didn't need to be on it, I should have been taken off of it years ago. He wanted to start reducing it that day and start bloodwork once a week. I have never heard from any liver doctor nurse or person anything like this. I said I was going on vacation and would be back in a month. He was disappointed. My transplant coordinator call the next day saying to do bloodwork when I return so see him again in November. He is going to do this and I'm feeling like a lab rat. My feelings are if it's not broken don't fix it, I've been feeling great for years and my bloodwork always looks really good and even great they have told me. Thank you again for your input it's the only one I've gotten so far. MLR My transplant clinic is at VCU health, a teaching and research hospital.
