You may feel a bit of transitory weakness with each decrease in dose, with maybe a little joint pain and stiffness for a few days. Once you get down below 50, you will likely have to slow the tapers down to every couple of months and then once you hit 20-30 you will begin tapering in 5 mg increments and the last 10 take a loooooooooooooong time.

The "nice" thing about a taper is if you have big problems, you can always just go up again, stabilize and then begin tapering again. The last 10 mg are historically a doozy to drop. I've tapered several times, the most recent time in October. It didn't go too well, so I'm on 5 eod again until probably January when I will be back at it.

Good luck!
