I understand the deal-breaker bit. If you can find something else that works, then why not try? Desipramine is a cousin to nortriptyline, but without the weight-gain. Just remember that Paxil increases the blood levels of desipramine by approximately 100%. That would leave you taking dosages in the range of 75-150mg.
