Hi,
It is likely the meds:

A Systematic Review of the Effects of Lamotrigine on Cognitive Function and Quality of Life

Quote:
These data suggest that the impact of LTG (Lamotrigine) on cognition is at least equivalent to that of existing standard AEDs and, in many cases, the use of LTG is associated with improved cognitive functioning, which is not seen with standard AEDs. We have also considered the wider implications of patient quality of life, accepting that cognitive function may form an integral part of the patient's perceived quality of life.

Pretty much the same with the other meds you mention.
Talk to your pdoc and other docs.

Sometimes reducing or changing one med can help.

Also, getting enough sleep and getting exercise can help considerably.
