Are ther any risks with taking too many Welbutrin?

I took 4 at once you're only suppose to take 2 a day.Are ther any risks with taking too many Welbutrin?
Maybe, nothing life threatening, just an increase in the possibility of the normal side effects, such as headache, dry mouth, nausea, trouble sleeping or dizziness. These effects are the most common, there are others less encountered, see below.
You most certainly need to take it as prescribed. It's not the type of drug to abuse for any pleasant effects. When used properly it has helped hundreds of thousands of people overcome depression and stop smoking.
I hope this helps, be well.

More info:
Common side effects include dry mouth, tremors, anxiety, loss of appetite, agitation, dizziness, hypertension, headache, excessive sweating such as night sweats, increased risk of seizure (its most controversial side effect, found in 4/1000 during trials), aggressiveness, tinnitus, and both initial and terminal insomnia.
Wellbutrin can cause increased heart rate and elevated blood pressure. Don't take more than prescribed or you could be putting unnecessary strain on your heart. And it's the only heart you've got!
First of all why? And it will just make you really sleepy. Enjoy.
If you are concerned call 1-800-poison1. It's the poison control center and they will advise you. You can remain anonymous. But to answer, yes there are risks, but that was a low dose.
