> With mood stabilisers I find no impairment on creativity except for writing..just the sedation can make me lazy...
> As for anti-psychotics(even low dose) I've found it can dampen the imagination and I have hardly any interest/motivation...
> More work can get done with stabilisers but with BIG self disipline and I find the quality has improved..less head noise and indecision.
> Just my xperience..I am finding it more, and more difficult to concentrate on one thing at a time. My thought's run, race rampantly. I am reading somewhere around 12 book's at the same time. I find, 'outside', noise to be extremely distracting. 'Outside', sound that is not in my own mind, or intentionally placed in my envirement, ie. the stereo, television, ect. However, the television drives me crazy. My hearing is extremely sensative. I am living with my father, who is very, hard-of-hearing. He watches the television at top-volume. I find it difficult to think, read, concentrate on anything when my dad is watching t.v.
"Head-noise", is inside me at all time's. Do mood-stabilizer's reduce the noise, static? Make it easier to concentrate?
The anti-psychotic medication dulls your imagination?
As I have mentioned, I am not on any medication, for my mental-illness at this time.
