Lamictal as an anti depressant is mild compared to the absolute nothingness that an SSRI's made me feel. You certainly wont feel depressed... nor happy... nor anything in my case. SSRI's dampen a widespread of emotions. With lamictal you will still feel fear and angst. It helps a little but not a lot. I think having some fear and angst in your life is necessary for motivational reasons. The SNRI I was on, EFFEXOR, didn't effect my sex life but I was never on a high dosage. On all of these drugs I could laugh though... so there's that.

Wellbutrin didn't have any effect on me until I went to 300mgs, in which panic attacks twice a day started. That nasty legacy of Wellbutrin recently stopped 3 years after stopped taking it.
