What Causes Mood Swings While On Abilify And Lamotrigine?

hi i have been taking abilify for mood disorder and my doctor wants to take me off of this med because it is helping with my depressed moods but has made me more irritable and edgy. my doctor started me on lamotrigine 2 days ago and now i feel even more edgy. could this be from an interaction of abilify and lamotrigine?
