I take pills because I have an imbalance that makes me susceptable to pannick attacks and depression, so I take medication. Since taking this medication, I have become more balanced. Sure I still have depression and pannick attacks, but not to the extent that I used to. I also have begun to understand how to calm myself down and avoid triggers.
One thing I have noticed, that does hurt, is my inability to write. To sit at a computer and write out the thoughts that cross my mind. Before I was able to write and write. It seemed like that was one constant in my life. Then I couldn't write. Just recently have I been able to write again. As I write, there is pain. My head begins to hurt and I soon have to lay down.
I don't usually go back to writing after that. I'll go and eat or go out for awhile. The thoughts that I were typing cease to exist so I merely delete the unfinished post or scribble and begin the vicous cycle again.
Anyone have any thoughts or ideas?

I got off my depression medication for the very reason you cite here. I would try counselling and maybe herbal things if you really are suffering for writing. St. John's Wort is good for depression. There's nothing you can do about the pills causing you not to write. You either give up the depression or give up your creativity. There are other ways than medication to beat this illness.
