I’m not so sure. I was prescribed adderal for 2 years and I definitely noticed I was a bit dumber on it, in general I was worse at problem solving, I was just super focused and so could work at a problem longer.
As an example, while on adderal my chess score dropped from ~1000 down to ~700 and within two weeks of getting off of it it went right back up.
