Something similar happened to me when my prescription for my ADD medication changed. It wasn't that I completely lost the desire to write (although it did diminish), but my writing seemed like the spark was missing. I would go back and read earlier pieces and think "wow, that was pretty good, why can't my new stuff be that inspired?" I think it's something to do with brain chemistry and all that, but it sucks from a writing standpoint.

The best advice I can give is that you push through and continue to write even if you don't feel it's as good or if you don't particularly want to. Eventually you can find a system that works while still taking care of your mental health. No writing ability is worth sacrificing that.
