It's entirely possible that the depression is the tail end of the lexapro exiting your system. I felt great when I added Brintellix to celexa, but things dropped after I tapered on the celexa.I have always found a fairly quick, robust reaction when I raised my lamictal...however, for me it responds very differently depending on what I'm taking with it...serotonergics and wellbutrin in particular. So the good news is you could increase your lamictal and know fairly soon if it is a good solution.
Hope that helps.
