    There are law suits taking place at this moment over birth defects from SSRI anti-depressants. When it comes to drugs, lowering the dose during pregnancy, if not stopping it altogether, makes perfect sense for one very good reason. You are drugging two people rather than one. You are also drugging a fetus. Should the child be born into drug withdrawal, well, it is hardly a solitary instance. I would imagine that neuroleptics may cause birth defects, too. It's just going to take more than three pregnancies to produce one of these birth defects.
