The symptoms you're describing sound like symptoms of depression. Wellbutrin is an antidepressant with stimulant properties, but as you said, it has the potential to boost anxiety and make it hard to get to sleep. My feeling is that you should add an antidepressant, but not Wellbutrin. The reason you are feeling tired all day is probably due to sleeping poorly. Remeron has strong sleep-inducing effects, and it might improve your overall mood and anxiety. Trazodone is also an AD that can be given at night to help sleep. Some of the tricyclics are pretty good at putting people to sleep, too. Have you tried Elavil? Or, what about its cousin doxepin, which is one of the most sedating antihistamines you can buy. Or, you could use an SSRI.
You could probably add Wellbutrin once your anxiety and insomnia improve.
