When does it stop working, I mean adding weight? I have been using it for 7 months now and since 2 months ago I have not been adding weight. How long should one use it for?

I've taken this medication for years in order to have an appetite (due to Crohn's Disease). It caused me to gain too much weight, and I decided to try to wean myself off of them, and now I have zero appetite, and have lost over 10 lbs. in just a little over a week! I also feel depressed, lethargic, and just blah in general.
