I don't know the answers, and sometimes doctors might be biased toward not offering the best tips to patients with mental illnesses when it comes to wanting to start a family.
So, what I have found are the following articles:
Antipsychotics shown safe for pregnant women and their babies - The Globe and Mail
Antipsychotics in Pregnancy Risky for Newborns
Antipsychotics and Pregnancy: What to Know | SELF
Fertility and Antipsychotic Medications
Should I stay on antidepressants if I conceive? - Ovia Health

I hope one of these articles offers you the answers you're seeking.
The best advice is to ask your psychiatrist as well as your primary care physician and OBGYN. You can get all three of their opinions, and let them know of your decision to not be on any psychotropic medications until you conceive and give birth and/or after you nurse.
You can also ask a strong support team like your spouse/partner, family, and friends to join you when you go to your doctors' offices for advice, so as to increase both accountability and fairness (reduce biases toward women with mental illnesses).
