What Causes Erectile Dysfunction After Taking Lithium?

Lithium caused me to have sexual side effects after 2 months of being prescribed, and that was 2 yrs ago. I m 33 and never had a problem with not being able to get erections, and I don t know how to go about fixing this it s ruining my life and its without a doubt been the moment I took this med. I never had any issue like this and to go from being able to have sex 7-10 times a day any day to I sometimes can t even get it up once what doi do to get this addressed. I m ready to sue the mental health case worker who talked me into this medication while never telling me this could happen. If u can email me at YYYY@YYYY preferably as I m using my friends tablet. I don t know what type of dr to find to talk to
