Hi there, I have understood your concern.

I will suggest you to avoid and better stop taking this medicine. This is a cough suppressant, containing opiate derivative. It has habit forming potential and opiates have bad effects on the baby's growth.

Please get proper counselling done. You can opt for a healthy diet and regular exercise regimen. There are various ways to train yourself for sound sleep.
Please be relaxed.
Be happy.
Meditate regularly.
Engage in recreational activities.
Strat taking Vitamin B 12, Folic acid and Omega 3 supplements at least 3 months before you plan to get pregnant. This helps to prevent many problems during pregnancy and delivery.

I hope this answer helps you. Thanks.
