I'm glad to hear you sounding more hopeful, Link. And sleeping is a good thing -- I have it on the best authority.
Can you remind me, are you currently dx'd as bipolar rather than unipolar? If so, is that what you're looking to have reassessed? It seems like a good idea to me, if so. I'm not sure you come across to me as bipolar, although I obviously only know you through your words here.
My own experience with Lamictal was mixed -- I had about three great days on it at 150mg, then crashed; another two very good days when I raised it to 200mg, then another crash. My pdoc said raise it again, but I was so much more depressed on it after the crashes, I refused. Sleep was a problem, although sleep problems are a big part of my symptomology, so that's not surprise...
Anyway, I'm glad to hear you're sleeping better, and hope the improvement continues. It would be nice to see things turning around for you.
Good luck.
