Lithium isn't scarier than any other med :). I have a friend who took it and it helped her a lot.
Upping the Lamictal sounds like a good idea. And if Abilify isn't doing much, then switching to Seroquel could be good, but I would cross taper. Or go off Abilify cold turkey (because of its long half-life that shouldn't be a problem) and start Seroquel right away. I agree that 2 antipsychotics at once may not be the best thing as a long-term strategy.
For activation, Wellbutrin's always good for that...also, you don't know if Seroquel and the higher dose of Lamictal would equal sleepiness, so think: YMMV :).
