See your psychiatrist when you can stop ecitozaplam. It does affect pregnancy and it has to be stopped before planning pregnancy. Start folic acid supplements 3 months before planning pregnancy.

For the time being just stop your Ecitozaplam . You should continue to use contraceptives (whatever you are using) for the next two months. You may start taking Folic acid supplements even now.
