No, in fact, discontinuation of antipsychotic medication is associated with relapses and hospitalizations in women with psychotic disorders.

When a woman who has or has had a mental disorder and who takes psychotropic drugs becomes pregnant, we must take into account that the medication will not negatively affect the pregnancy or the fetus, but, on the other hand, we must ensure the maximum mental stability of the mother, because if she is affected it can also negatively affect the pregnancy and the fetus.

Many medications used to treat depression or anxiety, and even some antipsychotics, can be continued during pregnancy . However, it's essential to confirm with your healthcare provider that the medication you're taking is appropriate and that the dosage is the lowest effective dose—one that works without harming the pregnancy or the baby.

It is very important that, in the case of an unplanned pregnancy, you do not abruptly stop taking psychotropic medication to avoid harming the fetus. We recommend that you consult with your healthcare professional to ensure safe treatment for both you and your baby.
