I'm surprised they started you off on bupropion hydrochloride since it seems like your depression is more of a mild case.

4 in 1,000 people taking 450mg had a siezure. Half of the people that had a siezure, in this study, also had a previous history of head injury, siezure or nervous system tumor.

Normal daily dosage is 300mgetc etc etc..

Call your doctor if you have one of the weird side affects (heart, restlessness, "excitement", "confusion" etc).

To reduce the risk of a seizure, take bupropion in 3 or 4 equal doses each day. Total daily dosage should not exceed 450mg, single doses should not exceed 150mg

alcohol increases the risk of siezure

Do not take a double dose if you forget one.

This is from "The Pill Book." h:
