Unless you are getting sexual side effects from the 15 mg, I would recommend staying on it. I think it's amazing that you have been able to stay on 10 mg for such a long time. I personally have taken 40 mg for a long time. Because of sexual side effects, I recently went down to 35 with the gradual addition of Lamictal.

Also, being less depressed made me be more social, which leads to more eating, I find. Also as I get into my mid 30s, I can't eat as much as before.
