balancing creativity and medication.

Posted by Techno'n'PillBottles on May 1, 2010, at 7:08:35

I am a musician (electronic computer music) and making music is one of the most important things in my life. another very important thing is my sanity. I was hoping there might be some creative artistic types on here who could give me some advice. I have been taking welubutrin and seroquel for quite a while and I used to take lamictal on top of that. I noticed some deadening of the creative spirit when on all 3 and recently I feel like the seroquel is doing the same thing. I have also grown to hate the feeling of drowsiness, heart rate and other side effects of seroquel. I figure it's the seroquel that is the problem because welbutrin is a stimulant. I decided I want to switch to trazodone and get back on lamictal to help with manic stuff. I also want to drop the welbutrin because of some problems with that. I almost miss the craziness and even depression because it helped me get inspiration, but I know there is a balance I can find.

I'm worried about creative blockage and if anyone has some experiences with these meds or meds in general and their effects on creativity I would love to hear it.

By the way, you guys are all so supportive and helpful. thanks for being here:)
