That's great that Lamictal does not produce cognitive impairments and "flattening" effects for you. For me, it is quite the contrary, particularly at dosages above 200 mg. 300 mg produces a better antidepressant response, but I experience an unremitting "brain fog" that reduced my ability to function. Short-term memory was impaired most. I experience less cognitive impairments with Topamax 200 mg than I do with Lamictal. These adverse effects are not at all uncommon with Lamictal.
Of course, some people become zombies on even low dosages of lithium.
For me, Trileptal was unusually "clean".
To be trite, we are all different.
