I have been on presidone for 4months for mg without it working well what is the next step?

Something else: Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disease so short term use of Prednisone is justifiable. 4 months is more than short term. You need treatment by a neurologist who may prescribe other immunosupressive agents, cholinergic drugs or perhaps other measures.
