With all the amphetamines you need to watch for the emotional reaction. I've been told that if they are emotional the dose isn't correct, but in our experience the higher doses just brought on more side effects. Weight loss due to loss of appetite and trouble sleeping are the others. We have opted to leave both off meds for now. One DD was an emotional wreck and the other quit gaining weight no matter what we tried, when she fell 20 lbs behind her twin we took her off meds.
I hope you find a drug that works for your DS, it can be a trying time to find the "right" one. It is trial and error really depending on your specific child.
