Cipralex: Also known as lexapro, (escitalopram) is an ssri medication for depression & anxiety. Doubt the excess sleep is related. Talk to your doctor about possible referral for a sleep study.

Excessive Sleep: Sleeping 12/13 hours daily is a symptom of depression. This is also limiting your life. Please see your psychiatrist for monitoring of your medication, and psychotherapy.
