Flunil which is a brand of the medicine Fluoxetine, is classified as a Category C drug during pregnancy - meaning that there are animal studies which show some adverse effect, but no adequate human studies, but it may be beneficial to continue the medicine if it is benefiting the mother.

You need to discuss this with your treating Psychiatry. He will be in a better position to guide you after considering pros and cons of discontinuing treatment or continuing while conceiving .
