Will,
Obviously you and you dr. know best but my experience on Lamictil sounds a bit like yours in terms of irratibility, suicide ideation, etc. Be cautious that the Lamictal isn't contributing to the fallout. I was on Lamictal at the beginning of my EMSAM trial and wonder if that's what prevented an earlier response. When I stopped (you must taper Lamictal), immediate turn around with Emsam.
Also the patch issue - you are not a guinea pig, hundreds of thousands (millions if we include Europe and Canada) of people now take medication for pain relief, hormones for women, Nicoderm for smokers via same mechanism because it's the only method to get small constant absorption into your body. Maybe you are not aware that EMSAM patch has been successful in Europe for 10-15 years! But whatever you do, I really send you all good, positive thoughts so you are able to get peace back in your life. I'm always here for you.
