Hi I’m Marie Corbisier, I’ve been struggling with sleep deprivation episode that lead to hallucinations. I’ve been on and off anti-psychotic meds since 2023. I want to safely taper as I am getting married soon and want to start a family, I’ve read that meds can interfere negatively with the baby during pregnancy.

Hi future mommy @Marie Corbisier! Welcome to Taper Community.
I'm sorry about your sleep deprivation. Yes, it can lead to both hallucinations and even psychosis. We have some information about insomnia and sleeping tips in the Symptoms & Self-Care section.
You're very smart to be concerned about being on these drugs during pregnancy as they can affect the fetus.
Have a look around the site; there's lots of helpful information about how to taper properly and to cope with withdrawal symptoms. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
