> I am taking 400 mg of Lamictal as well, and my pdoc just added 50 mg of Zoloft. It's been two weeks, and I just had a horrible weekend where I didn't want to leave my apartment, stayed in bed, really bad depressive episode.

I was on the Prozac for a short while with the Lamictal and they really seemed to work well together. I personally cannot tolerate the Prozac though.
I really do hope you are feeling better soon.
