Hi,
Yes, it may cause harmful interactions. Taking Ambien while on Lamictal can increase side effects such as profound drowsiness, confusion, and difficulty in concentrating, thinking, and judgment. You should ask your doctor either to reduce the dose of the medications or to prescribed an alternate effective but a safer medication for get sleep.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
