anyone have experience taking anti-anxiety medication along with lamotrigine?

hi! i was diagnosed with epilepsy at 12 (had it since birth but it was undiagnosed for years because the only test they ever ran was an MRI...). my seizures are controlled (thank you god) with lamotrigine, but 2 years ago i was diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder and panic attacks. a lot of my anxiety has to do with health (go figure), and recently it's been getting bad again. does anyone have experience with this? i know lamotrigine is also used as a mood stabilizer for bipolar disorder so im wondering what its like to add anti-anxiety medication to this? i tried asking my neurologist but she referred me to someone else because she isn't technically qualified to deal with psychiatric concerns and i haven't been able to get an appointment
