Technically you have depression with psychotic features,not pure psychotic depression.
It is best to treat the psychosis first and then the depression. Remember it takes many weeks for an antidepressant to exert its full effects. Also, paranoia tends to feed the depression, which can become a vicious cycle.
If you are having breakthrough psychotic symptoms on your current antipsychotic, then a switch is advisable.
