> It is also increased when treating people who have an imbalance of electrolytes such is seen in eating disorders like bulemia.
Bulimics don't tend to suffer electrolyte imbalances; anorexics (or depressives with serious weight loss) do. Wellbutrin may also be a risk for people with anorexia nervosa or appetite loss because it tends to decrease appetite.
The evidence to support the idea that Wellbutrin is a risk for people with bulimia nervosa (a single study which was not designed with the intent of testing seizure risks) is not terribly compelling.
