(I am not a doctor) Lamictal will only affect a drug test if it's included in the list of drugs they're looking for. It is of course a "controlled substance" and if you aren't prescribed it, you shouldn't be taking it.
Depakote (valproate) is not typically included in standard urine drug tests, which often screen for substances like opioids, benzodiazepines, and THC.

Always consult with a healthcare provider for specific concerns related to medications and drug testing.
