Yes, Tacrolimous. That happened to me about 3 months after my transplant. I lost about a third of my hair, and I also had tremoring in my hands. After lots of pleading, they took me off the Tacro and put me on Sirolimous. The tremoring stopped immediately, and my hair stopped falling out. It took a good 9 months before my hair grew back.

Liver for me. Between tacro and the physical trauma of my surgery about half of my hair fell out. It had all grown back about 6 months post. It happens to a lot of us it seems, it should naturally stop after time and a lower level of meds.
