Hello! Thanks for putting your query in XXXXXXX I am a Gastroenterologist (DM).
These symptoms may be the side effects of tablet lamictal. It contains lamotrigine and causes side effects like nausea, abdominal pain, indigestion from which you are suffering. So I will advise you to discuss regarding this with your treating doctor to either replace it if feasible or add a proton pump inhibitor like rabeprazole along with a prokinetic agent like domperidone which will relieve these symptoms.
I hope I have answered your query and this will help you. Remain in touch and get-well soon.
