Sorry about your job :-(
I take 100mgs/Lamictal per day, in the AM. I also take 1200 Trileptal, 200 wellbutrin SR, and 30 Abilify. Honestly, I don't know what to say. I feel...calmer. Less agitation. When shrink added Wellbutrin, the low mood was elevated faster than expected, with lower dosage than I was anticipating, so that's good. I think for me, the idea is to take the edge off and delay future episodes, and make future episodes less severe (I'm prone to psychotic depression).
Anyway...I really hope you find something that works for you. Have you tried supplements? I do Orthomolecular. For my level of problems (read: used to be state mental hospital material), it took a couple years, plus meds, plus moving in with my family (better living environment) for my probs to get better, but...it does seem to help a good bit, over the long haul.
Do you have a diagnosis? I mean, diagnosis isn't all that useful in psychiatry, but it could help guide your treatment...
