I started on Lamictal fairly recently (so am not very experienced), but I find it a very positive med with almost no side effects. The pattern seems to be slight activation with each dosage increase; this has gone away very quickly for me, and the main effects seem to be mood improvement and increased clarity of thinking.
The gradual increase that's required is tedious, but I found Lamictal helpful from the start. I'd suggest you try it (cautiously) and see what you think. It's definitely quite different from other antidepressants etc. and might help where others don't. I especially like the lack of side effects.
