Where do you live that you can't get Rhodiola? You could order it off the net.
Lithium at very low doses will not have the same harmful effects that it does at the high toxic doses given to treat mania. Lithium promotes autophagy, which is basically the cleaning out of cellular junk that is not used anymore so that new more efficient cells can replace it. Lithium also promotes neurogenesis and offers neuroprotection. Lamictal does nothing good for the brain, unless you are epileptic and it helps prevent seizures.
If in a few weeks you feel really good, better than you have in years, maybe it would be worth it to stay on Lamictal. If this does not happen, I say get off it. Good Luck
