Indeed, a common complaint among artists and other high-achievers with a mental illness is that medication blunts creativity, according to The Atlantic. In this way, West expressed a belief that certain levels of mania increase insight, energy and productivity. West described the double-edged sword of being “ramped up.” On one hand, West said, “when you ramp up, it expresses your personality more.” He also said he feels “a heightened connection with the universe.” “If you don’t take medication every day to keep you at a certain state, you have a potential to ramp up and it can take you to a point where you can even end up in the hospital,” he said. “And you start acting erratic, as TMZ would put it.” It’s not clear from the interview whether West is still off medication, but he describes the result of not taking medication “every day,” according to Entertainment Tonight.
