Sounds like the dose is too high, back it down to 25 and see what happens before d/c'ing it.
I have depression, unipolar, but was also put on Lamictal and the dose kept getting increased until I was up to 100 twice a day.
I started having memory difficulties and then took several falls before making the connection to Lamictal. Actually I went to a neurologist who made the connection.
Why do reactions to meds have to get so bad before a drug is considered the cause? I lose the ability to see cause and effect and my doc only goes by what I tell him.
Side effects from meds is the hardest thing to determine because you are willing to put up with alot to get beyond being depressed.
I have a very difficult time with knowing how far to push myself. I usually throw in the towel earlier than my pdoc wants me to but it is my choice to say enough is enough.
