Paxil, Depakote and zyprexa are pretty notorious for causing weight gain. Invega can also cause weight gain. I'd be careful stopping the meds suddenly, especially the paxil. Paxil has a really short half life and a horrible withdrawal syndrome. You have to taper off of it very gradually and carefully.
Thanks for this!
