Dear Srinivas,
No tablet is safe, whether short term or long term. Doctors prescribe tablets for getting the benefit out of it. They know the short and long term side effect and they will be monitoring benefit vs side effect continuously. You need to go for regular follow up consultations.

Yes, that is true but you need a three year use of the medication along with therapeutic intervention to remain episode-free to then gradually wean you off of the medication. If you repeat psychotic breakdowns, it will only worsen the recovery process for the future.

No bad effect and all, medications in pregnancy are given after discussing the risk benefit ratio. Kindly continue as per your psychiatrist advise. All the best.

Risperidone is pregnancy category c. Which means use if benefits outweigh the risks. Same for asprito. There are not enough studies to say that the drug is safe during pregnancy. Having said that mental health of mother during and after pregnancy is of utmost importance. So many a times medication is necessary and you should consult a psychiatrist for the same.
Hope this helps. All the best!

Combining all these medications need not be feared as these are well within therapeutic range. But, are all these medications needed that too at lower levels of therapeutic range is a question only your mother's psychiatrist can answer as each patient varies. As such nothing to worry. But you can still consider second opinion about the choice of drugs and their dosages.

Yours is mainly psychological problem. If you go on worrying problems will be multiplied. Be cool and confident. Do pranayama and meditation regularly. Apart from this read spiritual books specially geetha one chapter every day. Spend time with good friends. And pleasant locations and small children. Worship god. All these will definitely help you. Review after one month.

As far as these drugs are concerned these are given only when necessary in pregnancy. As you have not given your medical history in detail it is difficult to say anything. Qutipin 25 is not to be stopped but if you didnot have any attack from past one year then aripmt can be gradually reduced and stopped. But exact advice can be given only after your complete medical history.
