Suggest Dosage For Lamictal And Buspirone

My psychiatrist upped my lamictal after a episode of manic behavior. She also prescribed buspirone. I have done really well on lamictal and thought that the increase would help. Now though with both the increase of lamictal and the buspirone, I am really very low. Loss of interest in all the activities I enjoyed, lack of coordination and focus, no sex drive. I feel like I am able to conform to society have lost the sense of self in the process.
