Chest tightness, frequent heart irregularities, nervousness/anxiety, increased appetite, problems sleeping, shaky hands, muscle PAIN, not aches.

The best way to find out is to have your blood rechecked six weeks after starting the dosage. It takes that long for a dosage to come up to full strength in the blood.

Starting the meds MAY give you some of those symptoms, or not. Some people are very sensitive to certain drugs, and it is possible to feel hyper for a bit until your body adjusts to the drug. I haven't had that problem, but others have.
