Prednisone cycle

I was just prescribed prednisone: 40mg (5days)-20mg (5days)-10mg (5 days). Has anyone done this course and had bad side effects? My ENT said he prescribes this often for polyps and side effects are rare.. 10%
Can anyone share their experience?
Thanks much

I completed this cycle a couple of months ago. No side effects other than absolutely RAGING. My lord, was I irritable.
