Seizure risk: It's because buproprion (wellbutrin) can lower one's 'seizure threshold, ' which means an increase risk of seizures. Eating disorders, especially bulimia nervosa are also associated with an increased risk of having a seizure stemming from loss of electrolytes and ph imbalanced due to vomiting. Taking too much buproprion can cause seizures as well. That's the reason.
