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.
