Hi Daniel
I too had great success as an agoraphobic on Paxil - and I too came off it because of the weight gain. Unfortunately, when I went back on it - it didn't work nearly to the degree that it did the first time. After being on the AD roundabout, trying everything, Paxil seems to be the only one that works for me. My PDoc has put me on a combination of Paxil and Clomipramine (a TCA) to see if that works. I'm not up to the full dosage of 40mg of Paxil that I was on, but one thing I have noticed is that I haven't had any weight gain. I think this is because of the Clomipramine. It's just an idea you might want to try out with your PDoc.
I am keen to hear how you go if you try the Serzone - it's one drug I haven't tried, but my PDoc basically thought it wasn't very good. That doesn't mean it doesn't work though - everyone has different opinions and reactions.
