Hi,
Abilify and Lexapro are from different groups and if needed can be used together.
Abilify is antipsychotic and Lexapro is antidepressant, psychiatrists many time combine these two drugs if needed, so if you have been prescribed them together, we don't see any major concern for using them both.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
