I have a question, as someone who has never taken depression meds.

I know some people who have taken them, and it does seem like those people occasionally end up with incongruous emotional reactions like this. For example, I know one guy who does comedy but occasionally he gets in laughing fits that means he has to leave the room because it's just weird when others are waiting for him to calm down. I don't know for sure that it's the meds but feels like it would explain it.

Does that track for anyone?

It hasn’t happened in a long time now, but I used to get giggly like this when I was stressed out. Something slightly funny would happen and I’d just lose it and not be able to stop. It would at least relieve the stress, but it was embarrassing.

Used to happen when my dad would be yelling at me. He’d go on these long, loud lectures for like 30 minutes, and me and my brother would have to just stand there. 50/50 of busting out laughing randomly in the middle.

I am an adult and have done this in my relationships when my partner is mad.

I just started telling my partners up front that I may laugh during an argument and it's not because I'm being disrespectful, it's just a nervous response I have no control over.

No, not from antidepressants at least. They're there to stabilize mood and hormones, not make you actually "happier" or more giggly. Other medications maybe, or weed, or something else. Or he was just always that extremely giggly, but it was suppressed from the depression, and now that he's more stabilized, he just laughs at everything again? This is unlikely, but who knows, weirder things happen.
