I am currently taking Lamictal for migraine prevention. Will this medication show up in my drug test or yield a false positive?

Thanks for your help

You should notify the hospital of your medication before you undergo the medical test.

If the small chance your medication causes a false positive, don't worry. By Korean law drug tests must now be tested twice if a postive result occures. If you fail the initial screening, the sample is sent to a second test called a GS/MS - this test will be able to identify if a secondary drug has caused a false positive.
