From Paxil to Effexor

I have been on Paxil for 3+ years and have gained 60+ pounds, a lot because I have been so tired on Paxil. I was taking wellbutrin, as well, but then I wouldn't sleep at night, and I still wasn't able to lose any of the weight that I gained. The hopes is that the Effexor will help alleviate both the depression/anxiety and the fatiguability.

When trying to go off Paxil before, however, I had withdrawals, and they weren't pretty so I went back on the medicine. Has anyone switched to Effexor from Paxil? Any symptoms? How about ability to lose weight on Effexor after being on Paxil?

Any info would be greatly appreciated!
