A member asked:

Can mirtazapine cause hypertension? my bp was measured at 135/86. my doctor brushed it off.

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Joel Ross answered

Not likely: This drug can cause sedation and not commonly reported to be associated with HTN. The 135/86 is not a reading that requires treatment in most evidence based medical reporting.
