It could: Talk to your doctor about lowering the dose - you don't want to do that yourself because of the risk of side effects or worsening of your depression.

Yes: Remeron (mirtazapine) (mirtazipine) is an antidepressant medication that can cause significant weight gain by increasing appetite. Discuss with your physician the possibility of lowering the dose or changing to another antidepressant medication.
