Hi....
Welcome to "Ask a Doctor"service.
I am Dr Ajeet XXXXXXX

I have gone through your query and here is my opinion.

Lithium therapy has multiple side effects including sexual dysfunction.
Patients report a decrease in sexual drive(Libido),erectile dysfunction and poor performance.
Clinical trials have reported a significant decrease in the testosterone levels of such patients.

Hope that I have answered your query.

Stay healthy and stay blessed.
