I would reduce the number of meds as much as possible. Ideally, two that counterbalance each other. Experimenting is a lot faster and probably more effective.

So maybe (just) an antipsychotic together with the lamotrigine or only an antidepressant (I'd suggest just using an antipsychotic and the lamotrigine to do the antidepressive part).

Mania kills cells. Brain cells die. Memories become more reduced conceptually, making more efficient use of limited means. Memories shape our reality. Our memories are more or less split in two by abstractions, conceptual reductions. Mood states with memories, concepts, attached. Memories of pain and those of joy. It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide.
