Hi,
I took 10m a day of paxil for two years (to help prevent migraine headaches), and also gained 20-30 pounds. My brother is a doctor and recommended that I wean myself off the paxil by decreasing the dosage little by little and replacing it with 150 m a day of Wellbutrin. I started exercising and watching what I ate and lost 20 lbs in 4 months. I am now going to start working on the other 20 lbs and I will be down to my skinny former self. As far as withdrawal, since I was only taking 10m a day, mine wasn't as bad as it could have been. I still experienced some anxiety, dizziness and little lightning bolts going through me. Good Luck! Hang in there, you will be OK, maybe you should consider the Wellbutrin.
