> I will be tapering down Parnate by 10mg/day over the next 13 days.
That sounds like a good idea.
Some of the withdrawal symptoms you may experience include: great fatigue, REM rebound dreaming, depressive rebound symptomatology (worse than original depression), anxiety, somnolence, impaired concentration, dizziness, weakness, headaches, and diarrhea, among others.
Increasing the dosage of Abilify to 5.0 mg/day is a reasonable choice. You might also ask your doctors if taking a benzodiazepine now to reduce the anxiety and act as a bridge until you can restart the Parnate makes sense. Have you thought to replace Strattera with nortriptyline? I'll have to brainstorm this thing more.
I am sure that others will offer better ideas than mine.
Good luck.
