Dear Mr. lybrate-user Hello Continuation of drug in pregnancy with the note of caution. Every medicine has side effect if not taken in proper doses and longer than required. So we can not promise without side effect. But as per this case is concern. Along with consultation with psychiatrist. You can change the medication with less side effect or you can think of adding RTMS therapy. To be safe in pregnancy or you can add psychological support system with psychological analysis n psychotherapy n can reduce the requirement of medicine (although in schizo less effective) but still can be think of. Or if needed Ultra Brief Pulse therapy can be use. Where almost nil medicatin is required. With early recovery with minimum side effect A psychiatrist after seeing he case can better decide. So consult the same to consult another but in person. All psychiatrist have read the same book so rest assured. For the right opinion. All the best.
