I am sorry to hear of your injury leading to aphasia.
I am not qualified to give medical opinion or advice. Yet from what I know there are speech and language therapy techniques available as well as techniques like transcranial stimulation.
As far as medicines are concerned your doctor will prescribe them as per your specific symptoms and medical history.
There are formulations of bromocriptine, donepezil (known to enhance cognitive skills). Experiments have been conducted with dopaminergic, cholinergic, and stimulant drugs and some benefits have been observed . SSRI antidepressants have also proved beneficial in some cases. However, your doctor is the best bet on these since the medicines may have contraindication literature (not to be had with certain other medicines or under certain health conditions) and undesirable side-effect caveats.
I hope this helps in some way and I wish you a quick recovery.
