You sound like me!!
Yes, i am on 400mg Provigil and have been on it for a while. I consulted a specialist who said that I could go up to 600mg. Maybe the parnate is making doctors hesitate in raising the dose.
I've recently discovered that Ritalin is much more effective that Provigil for wakefulness (for me anyway). I take 40mg Ritalin and 400mg provigil. Also Ritalin is commonly prescribed with Parnate (by an expert only)
When do you take the abilify? Does it activate you? I found that I needed to take it at night as it was somewhat sedating.
