Also, what would happen if I stopped everything except the Invega at once just suddenly, would I be okay?

I don't know about weight gain, but it is very dangerous to stop the meds suddenly. If you want to change or adjust your meds, talk to your doctor first. Please don't try it on your own.

I know that adding Depakote definitely added pounds for me!
Fortunately, my pdoc and I decided it wasn't working, so I'm stopping that now.

You have a couple I've heard cause wright gain but I'm just gonna preach that stopping multiple meds at once is a bad bad idea. You can have some serious side effects. Please talk to your dr if you want adjustments.

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.
