Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You are currently suffering from erectile dysfunction (ED).

You are taking the following medicines:
Oleanzapine- an anti-psychotic, it can cause erectile dysfunction
Divalproex- an anti-convulsant, occasional reports of erectile dysfunction
Clonazepam- sedative. less likely to cause ED
Escitalopram- anti-depressant, it can cause erectile dysfunction.

You can withdraw Oleanz rt and see if it helps. Escitalopram also is the culprit. If you have taken these medicines for more than 2 weeks then we cannot withdraw all medicines at same time. Firstly the dose needs to be halved for few days and then stopped. Check with your prescribing doctor about it.

Let me know if I can assist you further.
