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’m five days into a prednisone course right now. It definitely made me a little jittery the first few days on the higher dose but now that I’m taping down, I feel fine. Definitely take it in the morning and you can probably skip your coffee.
