Lexamil contains the active ingredient Escitalopram, it is an SSRI antidepressant.
It is considered safe to use for the first 6 months of pregnancy, but when used during the last 3 months, the U.S. FDA has found it to cause harm to the baby.
You should discuss this with your doctor, because you will need to decide if the benefits to you outweigh the possible risks.

Seroquel contains the active ingredient Quetiapine, it is used to treat various mental health disorders.
Animals studies have shown toxicity to the baby in pregnant mothers, for this, but there have been no studies done in humans, so it is also something that you should definitely discuss with your doctor.
