Bupropion and beta blockers?

I have been taking bupropion for two and a half months. Can I take one beta-blocker for a specific day (I have to talk in públic and I shake a lot) with It?

I would suggest you try it before your talk to see if there are any ill effects. It is hard to predict.
It depends on the dose. Bupropion increases blood levels of Propranolol. Be mindful that this combination may cause hypotension and bradycardia.

Yes, I suggest taking 10 mg. of propranolol (Inderal) about 2 hours before your presentation. If that dose proves too low you can double it the next time.
