Unfortunately there are too many misconceptions about depression. And unless you've suffered it in any serious way, you really don't know what it can be like.
Some people need those meds in order to simply function day to day and cope. And unfortunately, both the meds and the depression can really fuck you up.
For the OP though, If you love her, and you know that she is prone to depression and is on meds for it, than I think you two should at least try to work on that and see what comes out of it. As others have suggested, try different meds, get other opinions from different doctors. No two people are going to respond the same way to any treatment for depression.
But, as young person, you need to ask yourself what you really want and what is most important. Remember, you're thinking of committing the rest of your life to this person.
I think it's very important that if you really want this relationship to survive that you communicate these feelings to your partner and deal with them together. If she's unwilling for you guys to work through these problems then once again, you should really ask yourself what you want.
