Hi @sec1205, I haven’t had a liver transplant so hopefully someone who has walked that walk will be able to chime in, but I have taken tacro. The only time tacro had me feeling like that was initially with larger doses. You’re on a very small dosage so I would be surprised if it’s the Tacro. (But that’s just my experience)
My money is on the progesterone causing your mood swings. It’s usually a ‘feels good’ mood hormone but I had been on it for a while too and that can make us swing hot and cold in moments. Also, if you stop taking it, ask for taper instructions. Stopping cold turkey can be really disrupting to our emotions as in…family stay clear! 😅
Found a good article for you to read. https://www.larabriden.com/progesterone-mood-treat-pmdd/
Have you had your hormone levels checked?

@loribmt Thank you for your response & for the article link. I had a hysterectomy so only have 1 ovary. I have not had my hormones checked recently. But will do that at your suggestion. I just started on the progesterone and am hoping to be off it after 30 days if my liver enzymes balance out.
While recovering from transplant surgery I had hallucinations which I was told was from anesthesia & massive doses of tacro. I've been waiting these 6 months for a balanced mood. It's fleeting...
