Well, according to wikipedia the way that Lamictal works is still unknown. Some propose that it is a Na+ channel blocker but not quite sure. It is in a completely different category than most mood stabilizers considering it was originally used as an anticonvulsant.
But the real answer to your question is that I don't think it will have any affect on your shrooming experience. This is coming from someone who takes 200mg of Lamictal daily. I have not noticed a difference in my trips while on this medication. So you should have nothing to worry about.

i looked it over at www.drugs.com and i don't think i see any reasons why it would interact with shrooms. it isnt an SSRI.
i think you would be ok.
although i did see something where it said that if you have bi-polar disorder you may have suicidal thoughts from the medication. i don't know if this applies to you at all though. be careful though.

I was on 150mg of Lamictal for a while, and while I never tripped on shrooms during that time, I was able to trip on LSA...Like everyone said, it's not an SSRI so it shouldn't have much effect (at least, not as much as a more Serotonergic drug)

Thankyou Goatfish what you said is very reassuring. Useful Idoit i dont see sucidal thoughts coming up during the trip because even though i feel moody off the lamictal I have never ever in my life thought about killing myself.

I have decided to go out and buy some shrooms, which leads me to another question. Dosage amount. Im planning on tripping by myself as I see it as a better way to explore my inner being my strenghths and weaknesses. Im not the best mooded person but I feel as long as I go into the experience with an honest mind and dont get discouraged about anything and just take it in openly Il come out with something to gain after the trip. The reason I dont want to take them with other people yet is because of the simple fact that a. I dont know what its like to be on shrooms I want to try them first and b. No one I know except for 1 person who lives far is an experienced tripper. Anyways as far as dosage he told me he recommended like 1 gram for my first time. Is that enough to feel something decent. I really want to explore my thoughts and become more aware of myself and my actions and ultimently become a more well rounded person. I handle myself pretty well when I smoke weed with people and by myself Ive personally gained a lot of insight off of weed. I meditate on weed before i took lamictal and it turned any negative feelings i had into total oppisites i was filled with joy and happiness for days on in. Has anyone meditated on shrooms? If so evaluate on it. Anyone with some positive or honest feedback?
