I don't think meds have affected my creativity or my cognitive abilities at all. I'm actually more able to write and produce things, because before my thoughts were racing in so many directions that I couldn't focus on any one thing to completion. I was also obsessing over stupid stuff before, which was wasting my time. Now that I'm not obsessed with dumb stuff, my mind is freed up to be more productively creative.
