What you can do as an experiment is take the Wellbutrin when you first wake up and take your Zoloft 6-8 hours later and try to identify which is creating the fatigue that comes over you during those first few hours post dose. Of course, you need to be sure that you don't normally get fatigued during the time of day that comes 6-8 hours after wakening. If in doubt, just switch the order and compare. I recently used this type of an experiment to identify that someone was being underdosed with their antidepressant.
I think you have a good plan in place. The trick is trying to adhere to it when side effects appear or linger and relief has not yet arrived.
You've had some very talented minds commenting on your condition. It seems that there is a consensus among us that using nortriptyline in your next combination is worthy of consideration. I would go with the Zoloft + nortriptyline alternative.
Good luck.
