I should clarify...it's back ON the market.  It was taken off the market for a couple years back in the 80's (late I believe).  It was reintroduced with a lower recommended max daily dosage.

Compared to other antidepressants, at similar doses, the seizure threshold is comparable.  

ANYWAY, that being said...high doses of Wellbutrin could be dangerous, seizures would be only one risk.

Wellbutrin was not taken off the market.

ANY medication is "abuseable"...from Tylenol to cough syrup, antidepressants, you name it.  If someone has a history of addiction, they are at risk for taking meds inappropriately.  IN their midset, if 2 tylenol are good, then 4 would be better.  You know?

Do you suspect someone is abusing Wellbutrin?

Its a quite smoking aide drug and was taking off the market as causes seizures.
