Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Seizures is a well known adverse effect of Wellbutrin, so important that when we start this drug we always assess the pt in detail and his history for possibility of seizures, so in this contact it's for sure the drug that is causing the fits, I would advise you immediately to stop taking the drug and to talk to your doctor.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
