There might be a happy medium where you find the right cocktail and are able to keep your creativity while avoiding the nasty or dangerous parts of mania...

I haven't found stability yet but my options are very limited due to drug sensitivities. However, I've read about others here achieving it and keeping their creativity.

Lithium sapped all of my creativity, sex drive and even dreams, but I've read about other people who find it very helpful, and who find themselves more productive creatively then without it. So I think a lot depends on finding the right medication. The right medication shouldn't take away your creativity.
