At this point I would, as you yourself suggested, taper down on Prozac. Between Lamictal and Prozac, Prozac is stimulating to more people than is Lamictal.
As to controlling mania otherwise - I do not think you can.

I totally disagree that you can’t control mania w anything but meds. Cutting back on activities, avoiding triggering /stressing situations and people when possible, minimizing overstimulation and bright light are some of the things that can help.
