Ange, I think you really need to talk to your team about this.
Your feelings sound totally understandable but you might want to consider some of the risks of coming off the meds more seriously. The severity of your depressive/manic episodes sounds pretty intense and the consequences major. You've been pretty clear about wanting to avoid going into hospital again and wanting to be able to work as a vet.
Maybe your psych will consider reducing the dose slightly to see how stable your mood is then?
With regard to wanting to lose more weight, a better option seems to be addressing that feeling and working out how you can be happy at a healthy weight.
Please think very carefully about it.
