Trileptal (oxcarbazepine) might be worth taking a look at if you want to stay with the anticonvulsants. It should help with aggressive impulses if that is part of what's going on. Of course, irritability by itself can be part of depression, even in the absence of bipolar disorder.
I was actually going to mention Zyprexa, but I guess the weight-gain would be a turn-off. People often report that it helps clear-up their thinking when brain-fog is a problem. I found it helpful in this way. Abilify might offer an alternative here.
