What are the effects of having a few drinks on wellbutrin (bupropion)? i just started taking to quit smoking.

Bupropion: Etoh lowers seizure threshold, making you more vulnerable to having a seizure under certain circumstances. Bupropion can cause seizures, though the rate of occurrence is not as first feared. When you mention ' a couple a drinks' , docs often double that amount, not always fairly. Yet, regular drinking is ill advised . Hard liquor is obviously worse than beer/ wine.

Not recommended: The concomitant use of bupropion and nicotine replacement for smoking cessation may increase the risk of hypertension.
