The problem that you are dealing with is very complicated and the more information you can gather together for his doctors the better they will be at helping him. One thing that would be useful is to describe what happened during the fits that you describe. It would also be useful to know what his movements looked like.
Some of what you are describing in terms of his talkativeness and then quietness could be bipolar mood symptoms and that could also fit with his being loud and angry at times. But here again it would be helpful to have a clearer sense of how these different symptoms relate to each other. Does the anger occur with talkativeness or depression?
I understand that it is hard to put all of this information together, but I know that the more information I get about specifically what happened, when, in what order, the more likely I am to offer good advice. After all, many of these symptoms are not likely to ever be observed by his doctors so they will rely on your descriptions.

I think I would be worried about the drug interactions.  Antidepressant with an antipsychotic with an antiepileptic.

It sounds like the problem could have more to do with a seizure disorder than a mood disorder.  It doesn't seem obvious to me though why his doctor would put him on an antidepressant.  It seems that if he were to stop his anti-epileptic medication that his seizures, and tics, would continue.

I would talk to his doctor.  If he his wanting to sleep all day the dosage of his medication may be too high or it may even be appropriate to change to a different medication.  I don't know I have no medical training.  I believe that his behaviour may be due to either his medication or his medical condition.  I would discuss your concerns with his doctor.

I think that you should also consider treatment/ support for yourself.
Your son can not make you depressed.  It is how you percieve events and manage stress that affect you.  You could try setting boundaries with your son.  This could also be helpful for him.  What is your son trying to say that you are not hearing?
I think that sometimes when we are unwell we don't have the control to listen.  When we feel heard we are more receptive.

Figuring out whether a medication is helping, not helping enough, or making things worse is one of the hardest things I do. There is really no way of answering that question in an email conversation. It sounds as though, depending on the age of your son and your relationship to him, you may want to talk to the doctor who is prescribing the medicine about your concerns.
