Yes. Lamictal is a mood stabilizer and paxil is an ssri (anti-depressant). Lamactil is often prescribed with SSRI's to "boost" the effect and/or work on areas that the SSRI does not tap. Obviously, an MD/Psych is the best person to talk to about drug interactions, not the internet.
The SSRIs slow the destruction of serotonin, an hormone that is believed it is associated with happiness. If you are prescribed an SSRI, chances are that it's for depression, anxiety, panic, OCD or a personality disorder like BPD.
You should always ask the doctor who prescribed you the medication about these matters. Sudden withdrawal effects (in some cases extreme) can occur.
Fluoxetine (Prozac) is an SSRI and may show up positives for amphetamines (standard drug test) but also SSRI can be screened for as a single panel or as a multi panel in combination with other drugs ( many federal employment drug screening). Bring with you RX or bottle if prescribed
Lamictal (lamotrigine) is not an SSRI. It is an anti-convulsant.
