Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Well, its a long list and the adverse effect range from affecting brain, mind to other body organs like liver, lung , heart etc.
The most common psychological problem is anxiety- can develop in single exposure to even late after years of use.

So, it is highly likely that your psychological problem for which you are taking meds is related to its use.

Other common psychological illness which it may lead to in long term use are- depression, delusional disorders, hallucinations, even schizophrenia..

I would be able to help ( if you want) if you try to be more specific.

Wish you good luck!
