Has anyone tried or is anyone currently on a combination of Lamictal and Lithium for mood stabilization?

I've been on Lamictal and an antidepressant together for quite some time and because I am incredibly sensitive to medications and their side effects have been maintained at a sub-therapeutic level. The past few months, though, I've been sort of rapid-cycling (I'm Bipolar II, so basically get obsessive-compulsive and very anxious instead of high manic) and feel TERRIBLE!

My pdoc wants to try a "Lathictal" combo before adding anything else to the mix for anxiety or OCD symptoms. I start the Lithium tomorrow and am looking for some thoughts as to what to expect. (never been on it before)
