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!

Dear, schizophrenia is usually treated with a combination of psychiatric medicines, psychotherapy, life style changes, meditation and exercise. Please understand schizophrenia thoroughly before going for treatment. In my opinion, schizophrenia can be managed, not cured. For treatment methods, I will help you. Please post a private question to me with all the details. Take care.
