Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hello thanks for putting your query on healthcaremagic.com

I can understand your concern. Zosert is Sertraline and is a SSRI drug. The drug is considered as safe drug compared to other SSRI in pregnancy. The drug is antidepressant of choice in pregnancy.

Sizodon is Risperidone and is an antipsychotic, mood stabiliser drug. The drug should be used cautiously during pregnancy. If you are planning for a baby then report this to her psychiatrist and if needed the dose of Sizodone can be reduced gradually while Sertraline can be continued.

The drugs will not affect the family plan but yes Risperidone might cause effects on developing foetus.

Thanks, Take care
