Answers:
You should always let your doctor know what's going on. If you tell him you feel that it's not working anymore and you can't tolerate the side effects he should switch you to something else. Never stop cold turkey, it could have dangerous side effects. Your doctor will be able to tell you the best way to lower the doses. The weight gain sucks, but it's a common side effect. Your mental well-being is more important, but the med isn't working for that anymore either.
