Why?

[mutly]

Why can't I write? I have the ideas and work through them in my head but when I sit down to write them out I can't. I'm tired, frustrated as hell and I just want to write. To work on the list of story ideas I've collected. To create a world where things turn out in the end, even if it doesn't seem like the main character stands a chance.

Try writing something else, just letting the words out on a page, don't aim for anything specific, just get in the habit of writing a little each day, even if its nonsense. Sometimes freeing oneself from the rigidity of structure you want can help you get back to the desire to write and energy to do so.

It also could be lithium. You may talk to your doctor about your concerns over the meds. No it isn't silly to ask. If anyone thinks so, they're foolish. These meds effect a lot of our brain, and oftentimes in unexpected ways.

I've got many projects started, and a blessed few near completion, so I understand it can be tough. But being tough doesn't mean you get to give up, and stop doing it.
