Replace Wellbutrin with a stimulant! If you cannot get that, I recommend trying Strattera first, as it doesn't have the cardiac+anticholinergic effects that desipramine does. If you cannot afford it or cannot tolerate it, desipramine will get the job done; it's a great drug if you can tolerate the side effects.
The other option is Parnate, if you and your doctor want to make that commitment. MAOIs elevate mood like no other "antidepressants" (that is in quotes because stimulants and opioids are fine antidepressants) do. If I had a doctor willing to prescribe it, I would take Parnate (or Nardil if Parnate was too stimulating) in a heartbeat.
