Are you kidding me??? Sexual dysfunction, and decreased libito ***IS*** a possable side effect of lithium.
If you are going to sit here and tell me that sexual dysfunction an **impossable** side effect of lithium, I don't think I can continue with this thread!!

By saying that it is impossable for a drug to produce a particular side effect, you are saying that you completely know how the drug works.
