PLEASE !!!!!: Don't make the decision as to whether your fiance should remain on her antipsychotic medication based soley on responses received to your HealthTap BASIC question. I responded to your earlier question and saw the other 8 responses you received. This is FAR TOO COMPLEX to make decisions based on general information. Your fiance needs to mindfully address this with her obstetrician & psychiatrist.
