Hi Ashley,
This is a really difficult personal choice for you. I believe most SSRI's are considered safe in pregnancy; when I was pregnant on risperdal (also an atypical AP), my pdoc told me it was a classified as a C, which basically means if the positives outweigh the negatives... If you become psychotic while pregnant, that is a lot worse for the baby then taking the medication. Physically it feels a lot better to taper Zyprexa than suddenly stop. Most ob/gyn's don't want their patients on any meds in the first trimester, but most shrinks will help you make an informed decision. I wish you all the best- Judy
