Hello and WELCOME! I'm glad you found us! This is a great place, and the people are wonderful. Here you will find not only answers, but plenty of support and friendship.
Depression is a terrible disease to have to deal with. I've been depressed since I was a small child, and I've been on meds for over 30 years.  I fear the reason you slept too much on your meds was because the doctor didn't titrate the dosage correctly, and he should have lowered the dose until you didn't feel so medicated. Medications are really a God=send and have pretty much saved my life!
I'm so sorry that your "ex" didn't understand depression. It only takes a few minutes to read about it - it''s a shame she wouldn't take that amount of time to read about it so she'd understand a bit about what you were suffering from. 
I hope your therapy goes well and you keep posting here. Take care and God bless! Hugs, Lee
