Vicodin is not an anti-depressant, it's a narcotic opioid painkiller.
One hundred miligrams of it(the reported amount, which seems to have no real verification at the moment) is enough to destroy the liver of a man of basically any size if taken in a single day, assuming he was actually taking Vicodin, which is Hydrocodone(the actual analgesiac) compounded with Paracetamol(Tylenol, Acetaminophen, etc.). Vicodin comes in 5mg/500mg(500 of paracetamol), 7/650, and 10/700 compounds. It only takes about 4000mg of Paracetamol to completely wreck someone's liver if taken in one single day. Even at the lowest dosage, he would've taken 10,000 miligrams of Paracetamol.
Given what he was doing in college, there is a very slim chance he was unaware of this, and this could be a possible attempt at pre-jailtime but post-arrest suicide. By the time he would've been caught, it would've been processed into his body, so no amount of kilation will be likely to help. Assuming this ends up confirmed, he'll probably be jaundiced within a couple of days, and in a hospital away from other inmates just to be kept alive to face his sentencing.
There is rarely anything that can ever be said about incidents like this with any actual understanding of the scope of them. It was simply an atrocity committed by an unstable individual, and the families deserve more justice than is feasible.
I should also point out, though, that if he did actually take the alleged amount of the alleged medication, it probably saved more lives than anything else that day. He fired more than six hundred shots, and only 71 people were hit, in fully packed, crowded movie theaters. While a single 5, 7, or 10mg dose isn't particularly impairing, 15-20mg+ taken at one time can be staggering. It is surprising he would've been able to stay upright at all.

When that I happens, I usually walk around for a bit and go back to bed, and it stops.
