Budeprion is an anti-depressant, which may also be used for ADHD, or stopping smoking. Stopping it may have serious mental effects. Even changing the dose may cause anxiety, agitation, restlessness, panic attacks, suicidal thoughts. You need to talk to your doctor about changing the dose gradually.

In case that you don’t want to do that, cut down the dose by 50 mg every two weeks.
