Hello XXXXXXX
Thanks for your query.

Both oliza that is olanzepine, and alprax are contraindicated in pregnancy, as they cause adverse effects on the fetes.
Here is a link for oliza.
:// WWW.WWWW.WW Regarding alprax, it is in fact pregnancy category D, that is absolutely contraindicated in pregnancy.
The first trimester is when a baby is most susceptible to birth defects, which is when you took them.
But one point is that you mention that you took it for only 5 days, which is too small a dose .
In fact, if your recent ultrasounds are normal, you can take a calculated risk of continuing the pregnancy.
However, you must consult a Genetic counsellor in your city to know estimated risks of birth defects since not all ultrasounds or blood tests can diagnose all defects.

Take care, and feel free to ask further questions.
