Brief Answer:
Wellbutrin can cause excessive sweating, but reduced with time

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to HCM

I have gone through your query.
Wellbutrin contains Bupropion, excessive perspiration has been reported, but is not common.

How long you have been on this agent. Usually excessive sweating decreases with time. If it is affecting your daily activity, you should see the prescribed doctor for further help.

Hope this helps, I'll be glad to clear any further doubt.
Take care
