Introduction
If a patient's psychiatric symptoms (such as hallucinations and delusions) have remained stable for a prolonged period after taking three medications, and the physician evaluates that it may be appropriate to gradually adjust the dosage (e.g., reduce risperidone) or switch to medications with lower risks during pregnancy, and if there is no relapse of symptoms after discontinuation or switching of medications, then under close monitoring, attempting conception may be considered.

Generally, whether it is possible to conceive while taking these three medications should be evaluated by a physician. Pregnancy may be considered if the condition is stable and medication adjustments can be made; however, it is not recommended if the illness is uncontrolled or if the medications pose high risks. If in doubt, it is advisable to consult a doctor in advance. Detailed analysis is as follows:

If, after taking the three medications, the patient's psychiatric symptoms (such as hallucinations and delusions) have remained stable for a prolonged period, the doctor may consider gradually adjusting the dosage (e.g., reducing risperidone) or switching to medications with lower risks during pregnancy. If there is no relapse after discontinuation or switching of medications, attempting conception under close monitoring may be feasible.

If the patient’s condition remains unstable (e.g., frequent symptom episodes), or if the physician assesses that the three medications—especially risperidone—may pose risks to fetal development and there are currently no safer alternative treatments, conception is not recommended. Attempting pregnancy under such circumstances could compromise maternal and fetal health, and priority should first be given to stabilizing the illness.

Individuals planning pregnancy should consult their doctor 3–6 months in advance to discuss reproductive intentions. Do not discontinue or reduce medication without medical guidance to avoid relapse. Regular obstetric check-ups and psychiatric follow-ups are essential during preconception and pregnancy to ensure the safety of both mother and baby.
