Hi Colin,
You mention in your above post that you're taking Neurontin. Althought Neurontin is useless as mood stabilizer, it is a great anti-anxiety med. The usual dosage to get off of these benzos is 300 mg x 3, or 400 mg x 3 a day. The initial side effects, somnolence, dizzness, will go away within a week.
You also said you were feeling anxious/irritable on Lamictal, isn't it? If that edgy feeling does not stop, try a small dose (300 to 450 mg) of Lithium. It will zapp away the residual anxiety, preoccuption or even irritability.
Lamotrigine and Lithium are made to work together.
Bye
Max
