My kids is on Adderral - different drug but similar to Ritalin. his school does a weekly work plan of work a student needs to get done - the first day he was on meds - he finished his entire work plan by lunch.......
Actually Michael Phelps - no meds on Saturday/Sunday...of course he was also in the pool 10 hours....
