Wellbutrin/Alcohol: Wellbutrin (bupropion) is normally given in the daytime. Hope u r not planning to drink early in the day. Would be a good idea to get opinion from your prescribing doctor first.

NO: It is not a good idea to skip your medicatins as the levels are loweresd and you may also experience withdrawal. To drinlk alcohol on occasion while on wellbutrin (bupropion) should be alright. Excessive etoh even for a wedding is not a good idea as alcohol is a depressant and disrupts sleep and intensifies anxiety. Do you really need to drink to excess to have fun? If so there is another problem to consider.
