Hi Melinda2boys,

It's only 7/21/08 as I write this, so see if the side effects subside. The only worrisome one is the chest pain, because that is not a typical side effect to a stimulant. Chest pain can mean a lot of different things too, depending on the severity level, length of pain, and exact position. As I understand it, he started another drug a few days ago as well? Perhaps that one is a problem, or--maybe it's nothing other than transient and harmless.

What do you think it is likely from? Did the chest pain go away?
