    Weight gain from Prednisone yes about 18 pounds just couldn’t get it off. Really affected my self esteem, hated the chubby cheeks! Neurologist finally got my MG under control and decreased my Prednisone lost all but 2 pounds and feel better about that. I gain about 3 pounds after an IVIG dose but after a week or so it’s gone. I am on Zoloft but it doesn’t seem to affect my weight.
