Hi,

Aside from the more common side effects of Lamictal which is headache, blurred vision, nausea/vomiting,  and coordination problems. Some side effects of Lamictal, while occurring infrequently, are potentially serious and should be reported immediately to your doctor. These include but are not limited to: worsening of seizures; depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts; unusual bruising or bleeding; signs of liver damage, such as yellow eyes or skin (jaundice); severe muscle pain; or frequent infections. Lamictal can also cause very serious skin rashes and allergic reactions. These rashes can cause large sections of the skin to die and can cause disfigurement or even loss of life.

Discuss this with your doctor for more clarifications. Take care and regards.
