Hello Friend, Good that you are seeking a help. Over sleeping is not a normal phenomenon. May it's a side effects of the medication. Medicine can only help in supressing emotions and can provide you a temporary relief. In parallel you need to work on handling the mental balance. As body and mind are interlinked, your depressive emotions can also influence the body function like excess sleep, lethargic, lack of interest, weight gain, water retention, PMS, headache etc.That's what you are experiencing now. Solutions should be focused to first figure out the reason for your depression and then work a holistic  suitation  like dietary, lifestyle routines change or few therapies. I am also an ayurveda wellness counselor and can guide you on the alternate therapy. Reach me online through Practo app chat to discuss in detail and further evaluation of your problem..
