Definitely not. As Christoph suggested, the medication is not exactly 
subtle. There are side effects, I'm mostly aware of an elevated heart 
rate, that and I learned that if I take it too late in the day, I will 
not be able to get to sleep.

As for neurological mess? I dunno ... From what I've read is that a dose 
higher than is needed can cause some very strange behaviors and even 
psychosis, but the dosage I'm on is therapeutic.
