I was on 150 mg and weighed 115lbs at the time. The dosage is 3-5mg per kg.
(for rejection of transplanted organs) For maintenance the usual dose is1-2mg/kg

You are approx. 64 kilograms...You are no where near the upper limits of the dosage. The drug works differently for different people. Some people can tolerate higher doses. Ask him to be sure....As long as your labs are okay, and you are feeling okay, it is probably fine.
