Hi:
I wonder what dosage WB you've been on, ... in order to get a good effectiveness, you may need around 300 mg. WB XL. Wellbutrin is stimulant, for that reason, you have a problem of insomnia. You may ask your pdoc. for some sleeping-aid, something like a 'calming effective med.' like 'Trazodone that is also good for Anxiety you have. However, if you're happy about the current med. Buspar, then you'd better to stick with it, but in my knowledge, this med. has no 'sleeping-aid.'
In general, M.I. needs plenty of rest during the night, at least 8 hours' sleep is said 'preferable.' Also, in your admission as to 'caffein intake,' you need to stay away from those, because any caffein ingredient interfere med. effectiveness, ... decrease med. effect.
As to the disappoint on your med. combo. ... still not feeling well, ... however you need to give them more time to work on you properly. Just four-weeks' period is not enough time, ... probably, needs 6-8 weeks for med. combo. to get more effective. However, if there is still no improvement to see, you may need to talk to your pdoc. for another med. option, even seek for a second opinion from the other pdoc.
