Thanks for your reply, deliquesce. I appreciate it.

In fact, my psychiatrist has told me that if he does increase the dose of Parnate I'm on from 60mg to 80 mg that he'll also lower the dose of Lamictal (which he's already lowered) and Abilify.

I agree with you, of course, in regard to the importance of sleep. Believe me--I know the importance of it. But thus far the combination of the Parnate, Abilify, and Lamictal has not adversely effected my sleep. Of course, I am on Lunesta, a sleeping medication and I think it is largely due to the Lunesta that I sleep as well as I do (however, I do acknowledge the fact that, for me, it will not be a good idea for me to be on this sleep medication for a lengthy period of time).

Even though I received a full physical exam from my general practitioner a few months ago my psychiatrist has told me that before he'll raise the Parnata from 60mg to a higher dose he will want me to get another exam (blood pressure, liver functions, etc.).

Again, thank you for your valuable message.
