Crap, I have totally been there, but with other meds:Paxil (very dangerous) and effexor (pretty bad )..so, if your med is similar, I bet that is why you are feeling so terrible and sad. I don't think you should increase your dosage, but I do think you should go back on it as you were. At least until you can see your doc. Gaining weight is a bummer, BUT nothing should make your mental health take a back seat. I don't think that another couple of days/weeks of this med will really make much of a difference in weight. Just see your doc as soon as she/he has an appointment and find a safer, easier way to come off of or change meds. Really, I bet you'll feel better as soon as you take your regular dose. Hope that helps. Nobody hates you. YOu're just feeling crappy b/c of the absence of medication. Watch a movie (comedy or action only!) and have some popcorn to take your mind off of things. Good luck.
