I had mine go up, too, though not that much on klonopin and
Paxil, but I think it was the Paxil, because it caused me to gain a lot of weight. These drugs can slow metabolism, which can make digestion slow down. The important thing to do is to clarify here between good and bad cholesterol, and especially try and get the HDL (good stuff) up. Other than that, not sure how to counteract it.
