Absolutely not!

If you add more sugar, you get a (little bit) more alcohol in your
bottles, but most of all, you get proportionally more CO2. That means
more pressure, foam, and bubbles. In the worst case that means that your
bottles will explode when you least expect it, throwing sharp glass
splinters around and making a hell of a mess. Even if that won't happen,
your beer will gush over every time you open a bottle, and be totally
overcarbonated.

So, DO NOT add more sugar than indicated at bottling time! Ever!
