If i agree to start taking 1mg fluanxol again which i know made me pack on weight before... is there anything i can do to prevent the weight gain :( ?

Not specifically.: You can only gain weight if you eat. The medication can make you feel better so that you feel more like eating but it does not specifically make you gain weight. If you take the medication and watch your diet and do some regular exercise you should counteract the effect of any weight gain.
