There is currently no suggestion of any link between aripiprazole use in pregnancy and birth defects in general, or heart defects specifically in the baby. Studies of over 10,000 women who used any type of antipsychotic during pregnancy also do not collectively raise alarm of a link with birth defects.

Dear lybrate-user,
as I have already answered, schizophrenia needs long term maintenance dose of tablets. Relapses are worse to treat. You have not had any relapse since you were continuously on tablets. Your doctor is reducing the tablets, its dose and to less powerful tablets like aripiprazole. Let your doctor decide how long you will be on 15 mg. Since you don't have much side effect with aripiprazole, why don't you take it till the doctor decides the maintenance dose and tablet.

The negative symptoms also need treatment (amisulpride and aripiprazole). Please don't stop these medicines. Discuss with your psychiatrist. She/he may add an antidepr...more

Dear Unmesh,
There is no hard and fast rule about total completion of the cycle. Nexito plus may take about 2-3 weeks to take action itself. After that adjustment of dose will be done. Even after recovery from depression, you may have to continue tablets for 3-6 months. You need to be on regular follow up with your doctor every 2-3 weeks for assessment of benefit and side effect.
