You've been prescribed Lamictal to stabilize your mood, which implies that you are being treated for a mood disorder. Seroquel is being prescribed as an adjunct mood stabilizer, anti-manic and anti-psychotic. The two, Lamictal and Seroquel, prescribed together would indicate you are being treated for bipolar disorder, however you are suffering a good deal of psychosis despite the Seroquel. These apparitions and paranoid feelings you describe are not side effects or withdrawal from your medication.
My suspicion is that you may be Schizoaffective, as you have described problems with delusions and hallucinations that seem to run a course separate from mood problems.
You are on the right medications for either disorder, however you may need a different antipsychotic. Haldol might be a good choice for you for this acute phase.
