So I am back on medications (Zyprexa,Wellbutrin and lamotrigin) I hate that I have gone this route again, but everything has gotten to much that I just decided to go back on them and it has been about a year since the last time I was on.

Has anyone noticed from mood stabilizers that it can affect their creativity, I am in a job where I rely heavily on my creativity. I really hate the idea of being on medication as sometimes I enjoy the way I am, but I have just gotten to the point that the depression is getting too much and the lack of motivation and lack of concentration is just starting to get out of hand.

So if you have any experiences please share.

The only one I'm familliar with is Zyprexa.

The 1st 2 weeks are harsh. It seems to make people tired, but once that passes it works very well. It doesn't make you "happy" but works in stabalising the brain chemistry.

My previous post was incorrect and I gave the wrong information.

I told you to use Sugar, but this is incorrect: http://lifehacker.com/5809331/what-sugar-actually-does-to-your-brain-and-body
I'm on Zyprexa, Wellbutrin and Topamax.

I suggest you get good Vitamins. I'm on Vitamin B, Brewers Yeast (basically Vitamin B mix), Vitamin C and D.
You should also get enough sleep and exercise if you are able and up to it.

Your creativity and "spark" and liveliness will return, but you will also have days where you are down and feel awful. This is just the way it is.
I hope you feel better soon. If you are able, don't smoke weed or do drugs.
