Do not crush, chew, or break the sustained- or extended-release tablets (Wellbutrin SR, Wellbutrin XL and Zyban SR). Swallow them whole. They are specially formulated to release slowly in the body.

Avoid alcohol or drink it only in moderation while taking bupropion. Alcohol may increase the risk of having a seizure while taking bupropion. However, if you usually drink a lot of alcohol, talk with your doctor before stopping. Suddenly stopping may increase the risk of having a seizure. Talk to your doctor about alcohol use before starting treatment with bupropion.
Use caution when driving, operating machinery, or performing other hazardous activities. Bupropion may cause dizziness or drowsiness.
