Anyone’s symptoms significantly improve after they start tapering Prednisone?

I'm a bit concerned because this is my first time taking it. I am on a 10 mg taper from 40 every 10 days. I took my last dosage of 40 this morning. I do not have significant improvement.

I'm on max dosage of Lialda.

I am "okayish" during the day. Have many hours without having a BM, but nights and mornings are pretty brutal. I wake up at least a few times in the night to have water diarrhea.

The diarrhea during the day is better

I saw the doctor on Thursday and he still said I should continue the original taper.

Should I not be tapering to 30 yet? Should I call him on Monday?

I don't have any side effects. I hope I'm not refractory.
