Detailed Answer:
Hello thanks for asking from HCM for your health related doubts

Yes its absolutely OK to take Multivitamin and B12 supplements while on Abilify (Aripiprazole), Xanax (Alprazolam), Hydrochlorthiazide and Benzotropin. These are absolutely safe with the drugs you have mentioned. Even the multivitamin supplement will help to reduce the depressive symptoms.

Brief Answer:
Some drugs should be avoided.

Detailed Answer:
Hello again

If we consider pregnancy then almost all medicines are considered as unsafe. Though some fall in relatively safer categories. Out of these drugs there are not much studies that make Aripiprazole safe in pregnancy. Some reports suggest the drug should be avoided in pregnancy.

Hydrochlorthiazide should be avoided in pregnancy. Escitalopram should be avoided in pregnancy, though other SSRI Sertraline is considered as safe in pregnancy. Benzotropin should be avoided. Xanax can be used in low doses in pregnancy that too in supervision.

So please consult your doctor before planning for pregnancy. Start taking Folic Acid tablets before planning for pregnancy.

Thanks.
