All of this started after taking the Lamictal? You've taken it for 6 weeks now, so if that's the culprit it sounds like you've given it enough time. I'd talk to your pdoc about it, maybe it's not working out for you.
Lamictal has been by far the most successful medication I've ever taken. I never believed that a medication could truly make such a difference until I started Lamictal (started on it about 6 years ago). Granted, it doesn't help with mania, but it's been amazing for depression. Since I started taking it I don't get depressed like I used to at all.
And just as amazing? No side effects. It doesn't even seem possible, really. All of us are so different, maybe this just isn't working for how you and your brain work, plus I suspect other meds you take may affect it and vice versa.
Who knows, maybe you do need to give it more time. Or maybe it's not the medication that's making you feel this way, so hard to tell. But I'd consult your pdoc -best of luck
