I'm sorry that you had to give up such a major part of who you are. I know that it really sucks when the meds take away our passion, creativity, etc.
I suppose my only words of comfort come from the fact that "what goes up must come down". The meds may take away the more pleasurable parts of hypo/mania, but if they stop your depressions too, then perhaps it's worth it?
