Anyone think psychoactive drugs inhibit creativity?
I`m taking medication for mental illness. But I can`t paint or do my scrapbooking. In fact I can`t even listen to music without showing disinterest, should I switch meds?
My doctor insists I take it. I feels like this, you know when you`re hungry and you don`t feel like eating ANYTHING. That`s how I feel. I don`t even want to pick up a paint brush anymore. My husband misses that, I`m a great painter and a very creative story teller to my kids and the kids in my daycare. I miss it.
It started as soon as I started taking mood stablizers.
It’s not that they actively inhibit creativity, it’s that they level you out so your mind isn’t going eighty directions at once, making it harder to come up with anything to paint or write or talk about. At least, that’s been my experience. Before I got stablized on my meds I wrote and drew incessantly and now I almost never even journal. I want to, but I just can’t come up with anything. It definitely sucks, but I wouldn’t trade the creativity for my mental health. I’m miserable and impulsive off my meds, even if it means I can write a decent poem occasionally. It’s a personal choice whether you switch meds or not. You have to weigh the benefits against the consequences.
