I do not know the answer.

The dose of stimulant that is effective will vary with the individual.

Timing is critical, particularly with shorter duration of action medications, since improvement in function may occur only while the medication is active, not eliminated. Further, withdrawal may occur after the effects end - possibly themselves impairing functioning.
