This article states that excess DA and NE release in the PFC cause stress which results in decreased functioning. Roughly what kind of dosage levels would this effect start to manifest in regular patients on methylphenidate? My feeling is even at very high stimulant doses, some people don't get "stressed". Could this mean that pushing the doses in high ranges like that would improve functioning (let's ignore cardiovascular risks etc for a moment).
Also how relevant/similar is this law in relation to the graph the first link provides? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yerkes–Dodson_law
