As far as I know, your metabolic rate should return to baseline after you stop SRIs -- I know that's been the case for me. Controlling it while on the drugs is a little harder. There are medications that may help, so it's worth talking to a good psychopharmacologist, but the one that had the best potential has been removed from the market. (That was Zelnorm.)
Best bet is to talk to your doctor about it. If your doctor is one of those who still thinks SSRIs cause weight LOSS over the longer term, maybe run a search at PubMed to take in some abstracts. Medscape or PubMed are great resources for information on weight gain from antidepressants.
Hope that helps.
