Default Bipolar? Epilepsy? Or Both?

I've been treated for Bipolar Disorder for years, which is being treated with Depakote and Lamictal.

I still have these odd symptoms, however, that I find difficult to describe to my psychiatrist and am sometimes ticked off that he doesn't know what I'm talking about.

Odd Symptoms:
Strange feelings of deja vu and jamais vu
Unexplained flashes of having a "nervous stomach."
Perceptual changes (often accompanied by panicky feelings) while driving through lots of sun flickering through the trees-- like all of a sudden the road looks like I've never driven down it and the houses look brand new.

I'm thinking I may need to come off of my low-dose of Wellbutrin (known to lower seizure threshold) and see a neurologist to discuss my anti-convulsant dosages.

I wish neurologists and psychiatrists would talk to each other, for gosh sake! Anyone experience a similar overlap?
