Beracha, thank you for the info. I am a year post transplant and still dealing with tacro med ups and downs. And it greatly increased my anxiety. I am now at 2.25mg with levels at 5.6 and I do not want to go any higher in dose. I am also asking to talk with the CPMC psychiatrist to find a med that is ok for my kidney and good to reduce anxiety and depression that have come on since the surgery. Anyone else on anti-anxiety or anti-depressants since the surgery? Which meds are recommended? Hope you feel better and stabilize soon. I have lost hair too and it remains thin. I think my life is just different since the surgery and God is taking care of it all for my new life. I trust God and have deepened my faith to get me through and be grateful. Take care, BB

Hey there blbird33! I take Citalopram for depression, and it melds just great with all of our other meds. I am post liver transplant about 18 months . Good luck! I have also had a suggestion of Holy Basil tea, but I haven't tried that yet. Word from the Mayo was that it should be ok, but if it starts to affect the tacro levels, then it's a no go. Hope this helps!
