Side affects?

A little background. My son gets up for school at 5:30 in the morning. At 6 he takes his 1 pill of Adderall XR 25 mgs, his 1 1/2 tablets of Trileptal 300 mgs that he started August 1, 2007, and his vitamins. Now at 6 at night, he takes, his Trileptal, 1 pill of Seroquel 200 mgs to help him sleep, 3 pills of Fluoxetine 20 mgs for his Trichotillomania. Now it used to be that at 8:30 at night he was getting tired so he could go to bed at 9. Now he has been falling asleep either on the couch or the floor by 7:30. Could this be a side effect of the new medicine? I have also noticed, that he has become very loud when he talks.
