I am also taking Lamictal (250 mg) and lithium orotate (6 x 120 a day) and it doesn't stop the mind racing. I had the same problem sleeping and the only thing that helped is 12.5 mg or seroquel at bedtime (1/2 of 25 mg tablet). I sleep 7-9 hours soundly but when I wake up the mind racing starts again.
