weight loss after weight gain from paxil

Help! I've been taking 40 mg of Paxil for 3 years now for anxiety, and I've gained 30 lbs. I've decided to get off of Paxil due to my weight issues. Any suggestions from anyone to help? If I had known I'd gain this much I never would have gone on Paxil... i am starting to weaning myself off, 7 days at 30 mg, 7 days at 20 mg, then 14 days at 10 mg then stop all together, will my weight fall off after stopping Paxil or is it here to stay?
