Bob,

It sounds like you stopped the cyclosporine cold turkey. I think these drugs are supposed to be tapered down unless you have an emergency situation (like extreme kidney toxicity) that requires a sudden stop. The symptoms you describe sound like withdrawal. Your doctor should be able to help you mitigate them. Don't put up with such discomfort. You'll wear yourself out and end up vulnerable to infections.

Regards,
Ruth
