Brief Answer:
Wellbutrin and Advil do not interact

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

The medical literature does not find any interaction between Wellbutrin (Buproprion) and Advil (Ibuprofen 800mg) Extra strength.

If you are regular user of pain killers you need to be extra careful for every dose of Advil. If you have gastritis, heart disease or lower kidney functions refrain from extra doses. Since you had not mentioned in your medical history about these I think you can use pain killers without any problem.

Hope this helps.
