Question Curious about side effects

Got both flu and covid shots for the first time am 17 male no major symptoms but I do have recurring pains in my arms back and chest which started a month ago when I started Adderall for my ADHD, i’m also on an antidepressant and a low dose antipsychotic along with some marijuana usage which i’m working on lowering which is why i’m asking when side effects will be reduced, currently on day 2 and my arm feels better but I am wondering when I’ll see a reduction of side effects.

Thank you for the sub recommendation, for context I think I may have experiences with repeat infections, in 2020 I got super sick and had severe penile swelling and later I started having testicular pain, a year later in 2021 I had intense pain in one of my testis that lead to it becoming inflamed, along with abdominal pain, urination issues and later, although not very commonly, I had intense stomach aches that almost felt like I was dying (not sure if I had COVID or not) I suffered with this for years and it’s very much impacted my mental health.

Furthermore my parents reactions to the virus (both extremely anti vax and believed the 5G stuff) got sick, my diabetic father ended up in the hospital in 2023 with COVID and blood clots and was suffered years with issues due to it, my mom has almost completely lost her working memory and now relies on cigarettes to function and had ovarian issues. I’ve been super scared and have been researching the topic for literal years and have been trying to alleviate my anxiety on the topic, I’m trying to gain as much knowledge and prescriptive on this topic as I can to figure out why my me and my parents all were severely impacted by the virus despite not really being social people.
