Yes: Antidepressants, mood stabilizers, and antipsychotic medications are often combined to treat schizophrenia. The decision is best made by the treating psychiatrist and the patient.

Schizophrenia.: Abilify and Zyprexa are both antipsychotic medications. Prozac and Wellbutrin are both antidepressants. Antidepressants and antipsychotics are helpful for some one who has psychosis with depressive symptoms.
