Thrush and enlarged thyroid

So I kind of have a weird situation. I have borderline personality disorder and was prescribed lamictal. I had been taking it for a month and then had my dose upped. A couple days after I noticed my thyroid gland was inflamed and swollen (no nodules or anything, just swollen gland) and I had cramping in my legs and tremors. I was instructed to go to medcheck and the dr there diagnosed me with some type of thyroid disorder from the lamictal and ordered blood tests. I was pretty sad because lamictal has worked so well for me. I am off of the lamictal for the time being but I’m hoping once this is sorted out I can go back on it. Anyways, I got my blood work done and so far I had received TSH and free T3 and they were normal. I also had free t4, tpo antibodies, thyroglobulin antibodies, reverse t3, rbc iodine levels and rbc magnesium levels tested. I have not received those results yet. The swelling has now created a lump in my throat/sore throat feeling and tonight I have developed thrush with sore gums which I have had many times before and I also have frequent yeast infections. Also certain foods taste very bitter & the pain in my mouth is causing me troubles with eating. I also suffer from debilitating panic attacks and depression. I’m not sure if that is related or a separate issue.What could possibly be causing my symptoms? If I receive my other tests and they are normal what else besides a thyroid issue be causing my symptoms? How likely is it that the lamictal caused all of this?
