Yes lithium can make someone irritable. It's not very common though.
Sexual dysfunction may also be a side effect when used with an SSRI. Also in the long run, lithium decreases testosterone.
A competent psychiatrist will always use a low dose of lithium with an anticonvulsant to manage side effects and get better results.
