I'm a musician/fine artist on Paxil, BusBar, Seroquel, and Axid. The Seroquel is new - since last week and already I feel like I have a ton more energy then when on Zyprexa, and that in turn translates into art for me. I write better when in this state, have the stamina and concentration necessary to go at a piece for several hours (like between 10-20 straight hours). My most emotional work came through earlier this year when just starting on Z but the high from the art and not yet realizing the effects of the Z, resulted in hospitalization for a few days.
Art and mood are totally related for me - I have to have the creative/intellectual piece going first, followed by a run at the artistic end. I couldn't do it without meds - I'd be dead.
