tried a lower dose and was fine. Dr raised dose. i was on 400mg and was drinking the week it happened (nobody told me i couldn't drink when on wellbutrin). but 'no' to the rest of the questions. i actually know two other people who seized on wellbutrin so i think the seizure rate is higher than they claim.
