No. Lamictal (and I'm using a quote from healthline.com) "is an anti-epileptic medication, also called an anticonvulsant. Lamotrigine (aka Lamictal) is used alone or in combination with other medications to treat seizures in adults and children who are at least 2 years old. Lamotrigine is also used to delay mood episodes in adults with bipolar disorder." Opiates strictly deal with nerves, and are not meant to treat seizures or bipolar disorder.
A lamictal rash is an allergic reaction. Like all allergic reactions, Stevens-Johnson Syndrome can occur. This is potentially fatal. So the lamictal rash is as serious as rash can get. After checking with a doctor to make sure you really do have the lamictal rash, you need to quit taking lamictal immediately. If you don't the chances of you developing Stevens-Johnson Syndrome increases greatly.

Stimulants can potentially increase the risk of side effects or affect the efficacy of Lamictal. Additionally, energy drinks often contain high levels of caffeine and other stimulants, which may lead to increased anxiety or other adverse effects. Always prioritize professional medical advice for safe medication management.
