This is more of a question for a Psychiatrist, as Psychologists (with few exceptions) do not prescribe medication. There are a number of different types of medications that can be prescribed for Schizophrenia with Anti-Psychotics being the primary.
Antipsychotics such as Risperidone, Fluphenazine, Thioridazine, and Ziprasidone are some of the medications they may be prescribed.
