Can Lamictal Cause Seizures?

I have been taking Lamictal (current dose 300mgs) for several years with no problems, in the last few weeks I have had episodes of what I can only describe as a seizure. is it possible for the drug to cause seizures? I am taking it for Bipolar depression. I am also on Lexapro 10mgs, a hormone supplement Viviol dot and Norco 10.
