This is purely anecdotal, but I suffered 2 grand mal seizures following a minor overdose of Wellbutrin XL. I actually loved the stuff - it worked great for me and I was on a dosage of 300mg/day (200mg 1x/day; 100mg 1x/day) with, I think, Prozac. I forgot I had taken the 100mg dose and took it again and, as a result, had the seizures while I was within therapeutic dosing levels. It should be noted that about 17 years prior, I passed out a few times and was diagnosed with a seizure disorder, though I never had a seizure and stopped meds after a year. It should also be noted that I saw a premier epilepsy/seizure specialist after the seizures, had every test in the book and we both concluded that it was the Wellbutrin.
