Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I do not think that some specific medicine is needed right now. I think that some of your mood disorder medications are effecting your sexual function. Bring this to the notice of your Psychiatrist as well. He can supplement other medications with the ones which may are causing this.

Also, if you have diabetes, please get that treated as strictly as possible. This also contributes to sexual dysfunction.
