Side Effects of OCP pills
I have been diagnosed with PCOD,and took Mala D for about 8-9 months at the age of 25 as prescribed by a doctor.
After 4-5 months,I started facing issues with balancing my body while standing which I did not notice and when I stopped the pills after 8-9 months ,severe continuous head pressure,vertigo,and different types of psychological problems started.
Can these pills cause serious psychological problems too if taken for a long time ? Do they have side effects as well ?
