During my marathon appointment with my doctor today, she agreed to taper me off Lamictal completely. Then reassess (she expects me to be in much worse shape, I can just tell!!) and, if necessary, consider Depakote or Lithium. For which she advised of their dire side effects.
For the agitation and irritability, she has cautiously put me back on a low dose of xanax (.25mg as needed).
I felt like I needed a vacation after that appointment. I cried the whole time, in sheer frustration.
