Fluoxetine ? Withdrawals? - crying?

I keep trying to come off fluoxetine for lots of reasons including possibly trying for another baby.

I'm only 10mg but everytime I do, about a week after I stop I start getting really emotional, almost crying at everything. My GP thinks I should go back on when it happens as due to the low dosage and when it starts hitting (a week after I stop) it's not withdrawals or anything related to coming off fluoxetine but rather that my body and mind still need it, even at that low dosage. But they've left it up to me if I want to go back on or not.

Anyone been through anything similar? Should I push through it? Should I go back on it and accept I'm likely going to be on it for life?
