Have you seen these Lamictal/Lamotrigine warnings for heart patients?

To all taking Lamictal, please comment.. tomorrow my nonverbal autistic/ epileptic 48 yr old daughter sees the seizure specialist to discontinue Zonegran and switch to Lamictal because of side effects from Zonegran ( on 15 mos) She's tried Depakote ( hospitalized from high ammonia) and Dilantin worked for years but then levels dropped and too many issues..
Any help for other meds that might work? She has very few tonic clonics but more absence seizures it appears
Also on Seroquel and Buspar .. doesn't Lamictal help mood disorders?
Thank you for any help!!!

My 80 year old husband who has dementia, has taken lamictal and Keppra together for 3 years. No noticeable side effects. And he is almost always in a good mood, and the seizures are well under control. Wishing you the best result for your daughter. Sounds like you have a lot on your plate.
