I did not have anxiety while titrating up on lamictal.
Got up to 400mg at one time & was no batter than at 200mg so weaned back down.
Still deal with some low grade depression.
There is a fine line for me, sometimes if I go over 150mg I don't sleep.
Pdoc has me *tweak* it as I have been on it so long & been with him so long.
Can't take AD's they send me past mania right into psychosis.
Don't know if this helps.
