Default Increase in Prednisone and symptoms worse!

I just went from 6 mg to 10 mg and have noticed more problems with my eyes like double vision and a drooping eyelid. Has anyone else experienced an increase in symptoms when going up with Prednisone? It's been so long since I increased my dosage and can't remember if this happened years ago when I started Prednisone.

I've been at 6 mg (tapering from 80 mg) for about 18 months and am also taking 100 mg Azathioprine twice daily along wiht 60 mg Mestinon 3 times daily and 180 mg Mestinon ER at bedtime.

For past year I've also been doing 2 days IVIg every 3-4 weeks, but symptoms have returned lately so doc upped the Prednisone last week and referred me to another doc to consider Soliris.
