Brief Answer:
should be safe to use together

Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

The phosphatidylserine can interact with some medications including some anti depressants.

It would interact with anti depressants that have an 'anticholinergic effect'. This means that it affects certain chemicals in the body.
Bupropion does not have a significant anti cholingeric effect so there should be little or no interaction between this medication and the phosphatidylserine.

They should be able to be used safely together

It would be best to always let your doctor know about any traditional or herbal medications that you are using.

I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
