Sleep disturb % is misstated.
Not, "However, a retrospective study of 109 patients' medical records found that 6.7% of patients experienced an "alerting effect" resulting in intolerable insomnia, for which the treatment had to be discontinued. (65)"
It's only 6.4%.

Receptor activity listed in article not found in cited source
Receptor activity is listed as antagonistic at 5-HT3 and σ receptors with IC50 of 18 μM and 145 μM, respectively. The inline citation is [5] https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/drugInfo.cfm?setid=d7e3572d-56fe-4727-2bb4-013ccca22678. Neither the live webpage cited nor the archived version make any mention of antagonistic activity at 5-HT3 or σ receptors unless I'm mistaken. Moreover, the ligands section of the sigma receptor page lists Lamotrigine as an *agonist* of the σ receptors with two inline citations, one of which I can't access and the other of which makes no mention of activity at σ receptors at all.
