I didn't experience that with Lamictal, though that doesn't necessarily rule it out for you. I do think it's more likely to be the citalopram -- some folks report euphoric phases with it from time to time, especially when you first start taking it.

When I first started on Lamotrigne after having a few grand mals I laughed my head off at everything...I started with 25mg then 75, then 100 and now 150 twice a day and I feel good but if i miss half the day i get funny sensations where I don't know what I am doing or where I am...it's an awful feeling but it goes away. But I can remember when i first started taking the pills I felt really sick and nauseous and told my husband if I am going to feel like this all the time I am not taking them. The nausea went away but I would go into the fits laughing at stuff. My husband would say, it's time to take your happy pills dear. I am pretty stable now but some days I get the funny sensation/pressure, or something rising over me and I have to think about where I am and what I am talking about but I can't continue. I don't think my memory has been the same since seizures have come over me but I feel a little better than before I knew what was happening to me and can handle stress better.
