Wellbutrin can lower the seizure threshold, meaning it can make you more prone to having seizures. Eating disorders, bullemia in particular - if my memory is correct - also result in lowering of the seizure threshold.
Consequently, there's a much greater risk of seizures when people with an eating disorder take Wellbutrin, so it's contra-indicated.

I would think not. Have you ask your doctor? I would try the natural stuff. Like Vital B-12 with folic acid , if you have an eating disorder. I take this juice from cyberwize that help with with depression, mood swings, and help you feel more engerize and make you happy about being alive. It also help the immune system. I had not even had a cold in 2 yrs. Your body can't store vitamin b-12 or vitamin c. You need to take it daily. It's a juice and taste like cherries.Take a look at this website http://www.richardgarcia.com and click on the health and wellness and just look and read what they have that might help you.I also take the juice called Tunguska Blast and it works on lots of things the mind and body needs and give you a natural boost of engery. It's is the # one to any other products or juices out in the market but it can only be bought from the website or other cyberwize represtative. this is the only person I buy mine from. I hope you try it and I know you will see results and like the taste of the juice.

Aside from siezures, people with eating disorders may take too many and end up causing harm to themselves. Also, when there is an eating disorder in the picture, that means the person may not have a good body image or could even have body dismorfic dissorder.

One of the side effects is weight loss, and luckily it helps with depression. The main reason to take Wellbutrin is to help you stop smoking............ I do not smoke but take it as a anti depressent
