OK, I gotta preface this by telling you I ain't know much, ya know?
When I was on Strattera, for depression, my periods changed a LOT -- I went from one and a half day periods every 22 days, to 6 or 7 days every 28 days. I was told that that change was related to Strattera, and that it had to do with the actions of norepinephrine in the body, which affected my reproductive hormones. But I haven't been able to find anything online that explains this to me in words of one syllable or less, so I can't tell you more than that.
Since both Wellbutrin and Effexor have effects on norepinephrine, my guess is that either or both could be causing your symptoms. I'm sorry I can't offer anything more concrete than that.
