Can Lamictal have its full effect a few months after starting a new dose?

You might not feel much difference from Lamictal, since typically it generally has anti-depressant properties at 500mg-600mg. I'd see if your Prozac and Zyprexa doses need to be adjusted for depression help and mood stability, or even trying another AD like Cymbalta...but I'm not a pdoc, so just ask a pharmacist or pdoc to verify it! Best of luck!
