Hi,
30 pounds is a lot to add to a small frame-- it's understandable you'd want to make a change. If you can't live with the side effects in the long term then it's not the right drug for you, period.
Reading your post I had to wonder if you discussed the weight gain with your doctor. For many people SSRIs reduce appetite and cause weight loss. It could be that switching to another SSRI might do the trick. You shouldn't have to go it alone and risk more depression.
