Hi,
I just take Paxil and I have actually noticed a decrease in my appettite. I
don't feel hungery when I know I should ... Before I started Paxil I used
to be hungery normally ie, at lunch and close to dinner time. Now I have to
make sure I remember to eat or I start getting bitchy or light headed  (low
blood sugar). I've lost some weight (5-10 lbs? - I don't have a scale) but
I also quit drinking too and I think the weight loss is more from that
because I still eat the same I just have to make more of a conscious effort
to.

That's my experience with Paxil - I know it doesn't give you much insight
into your question but I know quite a few people report weight gain on
SSRI's - they say that they crave carbohydrates; bread, potatoes, pasta etc
... I don't know if that true but I've seen people discuss it on the OCD-L.

I don't know anything about Haldol.
