Hi Jeni, I came off it a few years ago but had to go back on, not because of withdrawal symptoms but because the depression was still there and the medication was only masking it. It's not one of the more difficult medications to get off thankfully so go for it if your doctor thinks it's the right time. the weight gain gets to me sometimes but it works as a medication so I can live with that.
