Bipolar and creativity?

I'm grappling with some annoying stuff here. When I'm not on my meds and manic I am wildly creative, which is great because I'm a scrapbooker with several online duties. I also design and sell my own digital scrapbooking kits. Since I started Abilify and lost my mania my creative edge has BOTTOMED OUT. Then when the depression set in... well, I just can't seem to get anything done, or enjoy the work that I DO manage to complete. I started Lexapro a couple weeks ago, and I'm hoping for a release from this depression, but...

have I lost my creativity????

Any thoughts on this?

Oooooo, I'm gonna have to check these books out! I have seen A Beautiful Mind and absolutely loved it. Dh on the other hand, not only couldn't relate but thought it was a little boring, ha ha!
