Here's the quasi-official word on Wellbutrin and seizures:

I wouldn't worry about it as long as your dose is below 450 mg. (400 for the SR version), you have never experienced a seizure, and you aren't taking anything else that lowers the seizure threshold. Since benzos and some drugs used to treat bipolar disorder are anticonvulsants, there's a good chance you're taking something else that raises the seizure threshold.
My old pdoc fretted about SEs too.
Supposedly, it can counteract the anorgasmia that SSRIs cause.
