Hi, I have no real experience with lamictal for bipolar.

But I do for epilepsy. And my son has anxiety too. He also
needs seroquel for the anxiety and hallucinations.

But the lamictal did at one point help him with taking the edge
off his depression. He now doesn't have the depression side
to him. But the depression was present when we saw lots more
seizures in a day, or week.

So its hard to say if it was because of the lamictal or the lowering
of the seizures. But I personally think its a combination of things.
