Gee, good question, but almost any med taken long term can cause damage to our bodies, organ function, etc. such risks are not limited to any particular kind, such as psychiatric meds. The best I can say, is ask the doc, pharmaceutical company too, sometimes you can reach them on the internet.
I take psych.medication, so far I haven't had any problems, I do wonder in the back of my mind what will be long term, but also ask myself where would I have been if I didn't use the medication, which can be more damaging than the medication, sometimes we need to weigh the risks, and also understand that not "all" medications are dangerous if taken as prescribed.
I wish you luck with this
