I've been taking ::
Lamotrogine 25mg (2x daily)
Buropion SR 100mg (mornings)
Buspirone HCL 10mg (2x daily)
Lorazepam 1mg (as needed)

for a month now and I don't feel these are helping much, maybe the doses aren't right?

I have had about 4+ major break downs/episodes in the past month or so, but last night I had a full on tantrum and I was so angry I punched the side of the car 2x as hard as I could, I just cried and cried after that and put myself in a panic. Didn't have my ativan on me which sucked but I was able to calm myself down and move on...most of my episodes include me crying and feeling worthless and beyond low to the ground, but this was overloaded. I don't feel in control of my emotions anymore and frankly it scares the heck out of me.I see my Psychiatrist tomorrow afternoon and wonder what I need to address.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance.

I think you need to tell him exactly what you just wrote. Even print it out and take it with you. You need him to know exactly what you are experiencing.

I saw him today and showed him everything I wrote. He says I have severe Bipolar 2 and upped my Lamitrogine to 50mg 2x and the buspar to 15mg .
See him again in 3 weeks, he set me up to see a psychologist that works at his office so that's gonna help a lot.

That's good. I'm glad you told him everything. The therapy will help. I can't imagine life with therapy.
