Ok this is what I would do.
I would not cut the dose, since it's still present at a lower dose.
Instead I would agressively try to treat the head pain by seeing someone at a headache clinic or chronic pain clinic. Longterm headache is so common it has a list of treatments a mile long that you could try. Take a list of known interactions of lamictal.
Yes it would be better to be headache free. But lamictal is working otherwise for you...so seems like a shame to dump it if some headache med would help. Maybe its not time to try the next mood stabilizer yet.
