I went through the same Parnate -> effexor switch earlier this year. It got BAD - Very bad.
I highly suggest you try Zyprexa, in addition to your Abilify. 5mg may be all you need. It has proved to be probably the most effective and fast acting psych meds I've been on. At least until the effexor kicks in.
I wish I would have known about it earlier this year...i'm 80% sure it would have prevented a course of 20+ bilateral ECTs.
Hang in there.
