I'd give it one week to start being effective again at the 300 mg dose. Dose-response in Effexor is linear-- higher doses mean better efficacy in depression, anxiety, and anhedonia.
The antipsychotic in the Parnate could only help, not hurt: (http://www.dr-bob.org/tips/split/Antidep-effects-of-antipsy.html); Parnate is effective for a lot of people purely because it is related to a stimulant and produces refreshingly vigilant effects.
If not Parnate, look into moclobemide for a decent serotonergic/noradrenergic/dopaminergic medication with a benign side-effect profile(http://www.dr-bob.org/tips/split/Experience-with-moclobemid.html)
