from wikipedia:
Perhaps the most notable example of this [amphetamine use] is Paul Erdős, one of the most prolific and successful mathematicians in human history. He took amphetamine and methylphenidate from the age of 58, when a doctor prescribed them to him to allay the depression associated with his mother's death, until his death at the age of 83. He had previously sustained himself on copious amounts of coffee and caffeine pills. Erdős took amphetamine despite the concern of his friends, one of whom (Ron Graham) bet him $500 that he could not stop taking the drug for a month.[100] Erdős won the bet, but complained: "You've showed me I'm not an addict. But I didn't get any work done. I'd get up in the morning and stare at a blank piece of paper. I'd have no ideas, just like an ordinary person. You've set mathematics back a month."[101] He promptly resumed his amphetamine use.
