I don't know why they would say it has no addictive qualities. That means it doesn't actually work!

Instead of it being a drug, let's use that argument with a car.
"I sold my BMW and I don't even miss it!"
Does that sound like a positive testimonial or a negative one?

sounds like something a druggie would say, attempting to be profound.

I had also been prescribed Wellbutrin. One grand-mal-style seizure later, and I decided that antidepressants were probably not a good idea.

My pusher made sure to tell me that if I go on a drinking bender, to not take Buproprin (Wellbutrin) as it lowers your seizure threshold. So does alcohol, so the two combined can really open you up to seizures .

This is backwards. Alcohol increases seizure threshold. This is why people going through alcohol withdrawal have seizures.

Alcohol is actually very similar to the drugs given to people with epilepsy. It's a GABA agonist.

I think she said something about the morning after a bender being the point where alcohol makes you vulnerable to seizures. The point where you are detoxing, I guess.
