Lamictal is known to be quite activating and has antidepressant properties. I have no idea why your doctor was hesitant about putting you on it.
Antidepressants used alone in your situation have just exacerbated your problems. A mood stablizer on board should make a big difference. I had symptoms like yours prior to lamictal which has been a wonder drug for me.PB
