It has been my experience that lamictal alone will not totally eliminate my own depression. I also take zoloft and 20 mg nortriptyline for sleep.
The side effects did take awhile to get past.
Maybe discontinuing the Effexor is causing you some distress as well. It all gets very confusing doesn't it when you are doing trials of different meds?
Hang in there; lamictal is a great medication, and worth the wait. I no longer have the severe ups and downs, still have my days though. I take 200 mg of lamictal and sometimes the agitation makes me wonder if I should be at a lower dose.
