Brief Answer:
There are no such contraindications

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

I read your query and understand your concerns.

Although there is no such contraindications with herbal medicine when you are taking lamotrigine but it will be better if you can check effect of your intended herbal on liver function.

It will be better to adjust the dose if the medication induces/inhibits liver enzymes which metabolize the lamotrigine.

I hope this helps you.
If you have more questions feel free to write back to me.
Thanks and regards.
