What size header for a double car garage door

I have a 22 ft load bearing wall with a 18' 3" header constructed out of 2 2x12s with 1/2 inch plywood sandwiched between for a double car garage door. The header and wall have been up since last Thanksgiving and today I realized that the middle has sagged 5/8 of an inch. What size and kind of header should I have used to prevent this from happening?
