Zoe, I've no idea if Wellbutrin might be a contributing factor as it didn't help me. But I LOVE my adrafinil (one of its active metabolite is modafinil, the same thing as Provigil). It has the effect of increasing overall brain metabolism which may account for the 'spacey' feeling you have. As Zo pointed out, more is not better! You may have had far too much. And yes, the feeling does go away. Provigil (& adrafinil) has the benefit of having longer lasting effects than other pstims due to its method of action. When I've ran out of my adrafinil, the benefits last for a while, slowly fading away after a few weeks to nil.
And yes, you can sleep less on it & still feel great. I need 9, 10, or more hours of sleep to feel good normally. On adrafinil, 8 hours does me. I really like how I feel on it - normal!
