I love to read and write stories. My doctor told me I should read non-fiction because the fiction stories fuel my delusional thoughts. I want to write my stories but the medicine I take makes me have writers block. I wish there could be a happy medium. I miss my creativity. Anyone else having this problem? I can't stop taking the meds because then I have really scary thoughts, and I become extremely paranoid.

Heavy drugs are b!tch when it comes to all thinking. I haven't took my meds for 2 yrs now. Otherwise I would have offed myself due to lack of productivity. In fact I tried, that's when I stopped. I'm NOT recommending anyone not take thier meds, just saying I agree w/ it making you a zombie. What they don't know, what they can't see, what they can't hear scares people, even docs. That's why they would rather vegitate/disarm w/ drugs rather than try to learn to deal w/ it.
Same reason why so many ignorant poeple would rather go to war & kill what they don't understand rather than learn to live w/ it. That & "disarming" is normally the easy way.

That's why I stopped taking my meds. My imagination was ripped out of my skull.

I agree with Paulsonlaw. The docs are afraid of us, therefore they sedate us in an attempt to control us.
