Pain and motor weakness are common signs of peripheral neuropathy, which is a known toxic reaction of vincristine. Hypotension and cardiac dysrhythmias are not typically associated with vincristine toxicity. Stomatitis and alopecia are also common side effects of vincristine, but not necessarily indicative of toxicity.
