Elleste Duet 1mg making me so ill. Can I just stop taking it?

I'm on my second month, because my GP really wanted me to try this before looking at other options. (i was previously on Novofem, made me ill and Evorel Sequi which were great but stopped working as efficiently)
I was very wary to take it as I have previously had bad experiences with oral norethisterone.
The first half of the pack is fine.
The second half is awful. Losing days to migraine but the worst is that I feel so utterly depressed. I go from functioning quite happily to endless crying, hating my life utterly. It is impacting on family life to a degree which is not acceptable.
My DH has been paying attention and knew I was on the progestin part of the pack just by my behaviour and mood.

I've submitted an e-consult at the GP but it might be a couple of days before they get back to me and honestly, they really don't understand HRT properly.
Does anyone know if I can just stop taking this? I am just really worried that seeing out the end of the pack is going to put me at risk because my mood is dangerously low.
