Maybe lamictal is too activating and its pushing you into a mixed state. Which is pretty impressive considering youre on lithium too.
Maybe you could tolerate lamictal at ~200mg which is a mood stabilizing dose. It usually works best at keeping depressive episodes down but isnt as good on hypomania.
Odds are that zoloft would be a problem. Although a lot of people like myself dont go mixed on it, but will on just about any other SSRI.
You could also ask for a PRN script for something like zyprexa to help with the agitation and irritability.
