excessive sleepiness

My husband is taking clonazepam .05, Lomtrigine 200 mg and pramipexole dihydrochloride 0.25 for depression, anxiety and RLS.  He hasn't been able to get out of bed lately and has missed a lot of work.  Could this excessive sleepiness be due to the combination of these drugs?  It is not that he doesn't want to get out of bed, it's almost as if he is drugged, which led to my question.  This is not normal.

Yes it is possible that the medication is making him sleepy. If you look at the side effects of those drugs it should state that they may cause sleepiness.
