You need to discuss this with your treating Psychiatry. He will be in a better position to guide you after considering pros and cons of discontinuing treatment or continuing while conceiving .

Flunil which is a brand of the medicine Fluoxetine, is classified as a Category C drug during pregnancy - meaning that there are animal studies which show some adverse effect, but no adequate human studies, but it may be beneficial to continue the medicine if it is benefiting the mother.
Next Steps
You should consult the Psychiatrist who has prescribed you the medicine about whether it is okay to continue
Health Tips
Keep your Gynaecologist in loop about the medicines you are taking so they may be able to guide you better
