Sir, Pregnancy has greater risk of psychiatric illness and a careful monitoring is required. So please go ahead with your doctor's advice with regular foetal monitoring by gynecologist. Please be under regular follow up during and after pregnancy, with your psychiatrist. Don't stop or change the medicine by yourself
