Hi,
I don't know where your pdoc is coming from but Lexapro will not and cannot stop your mind racing from Lamictal. Lamictal is a antidepressant/mood stabilizer and lots of people need another mood stabilizer to stop going manic. eg lithium, valproate (depakote/epilim) etc.....Lexapro is a straight out antidepressant. it is not a mood stabilizer.
I suggest you go back to your doctor (or get a new one) and try and go on another moodstabilizer.
Lithium + Lamictal works well for many people with mild bipolar/bipolar 2.
Good luck
Amy
