Hello, and thanks for your question.
In my experience, and per the clinical data, Lamictal is actually a great medication for helping people with anger issues. It may be that the Paxil/Buspar is activating this patient a bit and contributing to irritability, so Lamictal would act nicely as a mood stabilizer as well. It takes a while to uptitrate, but it avoids the terrible long-term side effects of benzos. This is my suggestion!
