I am no doctor, but I am a creative. In my search I didn’t find anything that says that it can stifle creativity. Supposedly, the drug is used to heighten ones awareness.It is most commonly prescribed to those with ADHD to reign in their focus.
AS a creative, my mind is best used when it is set free, but with that said, we all work in different ways with our own creativity. So don’t fear that all of your juices will run dry. If you have been prescribed this drug and you fear this problem, I would advise that you bring it up to your doctor and share your fears.
This drug is prescribed in lower doses so, if it is a necessity that may be the way you want to go. As with all drugs, know that there is a high rate of abuse and addiction.Be careful of that, or you may lose your creativity all together. Be well, Be cool, Be you.

Some researchers claim that the drug may actually cause the user to expand the limits of their attention span.

One writer friend who takes Adderall to read for long uninterrupted stretches told me that he uses it only rarely because he thinks it stifles his creativity. A musician told me he finds it harder to make mental leaps on the drug. "It's something I've heard consistently," says Eric Heiligenstein, clinical director of psychiatry at the University of Wisconsin.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
