A member asked:

Could remeron (mirtazapine) increase chlosterol or is it the weight gain from the drug that causes it. thanks?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Both: Remeron (mirtazapine) can directly raise your cholesterol but it also increases appetite thus weight gain can also be a factor in your elevated cholesterol.
