Does Intake Of Lamictal Result In Severe Fatigue, Anorexia And Drowsiness In Infants?

I have daughter who is 5 years old. She was put on Lamictol for seizure control the beginning of Dec. 2015. She is also on Vimpat, Kepra, and Onfi. Since starting the Lamictol, she has been very tired, her appetite has decreased, has many bouts of confusion, doing the blank stares, falling asleep in school, and unable to accomplish anything in her OT and Speech Therapies. My question is do you attribute all this to the Lamictol?

Pediatrician, Neurology 's  Response
our daughter seems to be having many seizures intractable in nature and on polypharmacy and of late Lamictal was added to the armamentarium of medicines.
