I was prescribed dexamethasone to ‘prop up’ other treatments for prostate cancer when PSA was rising. It seems to have worked so far (5-6 months). Not sure if some ‘side effects’ are those or no, but certainly mild if so. Maybe: mild very short time memory loss; occasional heartburn; perhaps less immune to usual winter ‘illnesses’ - bout of something like ‘flu over Christmas far worse than for many years.
