@alh4, One of the side effects of Tacrolimus is that it can cause dizziness. I see that you had surgery 6 weeks ago, and this could be a complicating issue with the introduction of other medications and healing.
I have had tremors after my morning dose , but not dizziness or lightheadedness . I do remember some dizziness and lightheadedness that was related to blood pressure, though.

When did last have labs and tacrolimus level checked? I would encourage you to ask this question to your transplant team. Have you mentioned this to them?

Here is a discussion about dizziness:

I had labs this week. Tac is 2.6. ALT 33. AST 29
Tac… I take 2 twice a day
My dr is not worried. She is trying to keep dosage as low as we can. I’ll have labs again in a month
Thank you!
