Hello,
The medicine which you have mentioned are mostly safe. The risk of affecting your child is very less with these. However almost every psychotropic medicine is passed in breast milk and may cross placenta. At the same time i would like to mention that the risk of affecting the baby is more with illness than with medicines.
So you can become pregnant provided you keep a regular follow up with your psychiatrist.
Thanks.
