Hi, Sahmed! How are you?

And yes, from some studies I've found doing a search, Bupropion, which is the active ingredient in Wellbutrin, as well as several other antidepressant class medications can cause changes in the platelet count in some people that take them. Bupropion is not as prone to causing it as the others, but it did do so in some test subjects.

Have you consulted your doctor about it?

You may need to try a different medication.
