Wellbutrin is supposed to be a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor like Strattera (and it may well be) but my understanding is that it has wide-ranging effects and its metabolites do many other things. I found it a strange and highly anxiety-inducing drug, and wouldn't touch it again. But it works well for others.
In contrast, I found Strattera quite relaxing, although ultimately its side effects made it inappropriate for me. Again, others do well with it, although I'd advise caution and a slow increase in dosage.
I can't offer any advice on taking the two together (this is something to discuss with your doctor), but would be careful with both (just like almost any med) until you know how you respond.
