If you can start writing, they will help you keep writing.
Be aware, there’s some thought patterns that come with stimulants that may be reflected in your writing, overly explaining things, following one branch of thought too far while ignoring others, missing a very obvious vibe, over-confidence, and writing things you’ll look back and be like “Oh god how the fuck did I write this”.
You’ll probably want to go back a week later and cut half of what you wrote, and rewrite the other half, several times.
Ayn Rand is what happens if you take shittons of amphetamine and never question yourself nor let anyone edit your work.
Sartre and Philip K Dick used it more productively.

btw, Adderal is amphetamine, Ritalin is similar.
That explains so much.
Write on stimulants, edit on depressants is the way I go. They’re such different headspaces
Edit: But at this point in my life I try to keep the stimulants to my prescribed meds and the depressants to weed
