You need to consult your psychiatrist, there are medications which don't increase weight much and those which can reverse the same. But if she stops without psychiatrist advise, she is likely to relapse with symptoms which will be more troubling. Consult an astute psychiatrist either in person or online and seek remedy. Good luck
