I've gotten mixed results. From 100% dextroamphetamine (Adderall is about 75% dextro and 25% levo, though also uses salts), I actually notice a distinct (but fleeting) increase in both kinds of creativity.

Writing, programming, and art all seem to be improved across all levels when taking it with a low tolerance.

Adderall definitely seems to hamper my creativity or have no effect, and makes me feel a bit more robotic.
