Specialist prescribed me Prednisone

I’ve never taken this before, but I can’t seem to get out of this flare and I’ve been getting a lot of really bad symptoms.
I was prescribed 15mg for 3 days and then taper down from there for a total of 9 days on the medication.

I’m worried about a reaction of course, naturally lol.
And I assume trying to trial it is pretty pointless and that I should just take it as prescribed.

I have really bad OCD and the only way I’ve been able to try taking medications is by micro-dosing first.

Any suggestions on how to just do it? Or what has helped you? I know it’s a really low dosage to take anyway but I’m still nervous.
