As long as it you're okay with it, that's propably a good choice. There is no need to take drugs for something if it doesn't really bother you.

However, I'd like to comment as someone who does creative writing (as a hobby);

While taking my meds does sometimes cause issues with creativity, they also have a definite upside for me; I sleep better and have less anxiety. This means I can better develop my ideas. Also, the stuff I come up with tends to actually revolve around what I want to come up with, instead of being somewhat all over the place like they "normally" tend to be. Also, writing just feels nicer.

Plus, I have my everyday life somewhat under control now, which cuts down on distracting thoughts.
