"Melatonin can suppress libido by inhibiting secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) from the anterior pituitary gland."

SSRI
finasteride (propecia or proscar)
dutasteride (avodart)

(Only men can take the last two).

borage oil (or any GLA fatty acid supplement) should work like finasteride and reduce sex drive as well.

If you have histadelia (high histamine levels) you should consider pycnogenol and fish oil

Fish oil (2-4 gram) has a general relaxing effect.

Pycnogenol is an natural antihistamine that also has general relaxing effect

If you do not have problems with depression you could also try magnesium (100-200 mg). It is cheap, has a general relaxing effect.
