What Is The Remedy For Erectile Dysfunction When On Cyclobenzaprine?

I was recently prescribed nubumetone and cyclobenzaprine for lower back pain and some arthritis in my hips. I am also taking atorvastatin for cholesterol. I am recently experiencing an inability to get an erection (ED). This has never happened before and is very concerning. Any ideas?
