I have taken the combo of Prozac and Wellbutrin and found it an intolerable combination at the time. You really do need to give Prozac the full 6 week trial before adding more seasonings. And your diagnosis isn't as important as what *symptoms* you are trying to treat (besides the obvious depression). There are so many flavors of depression, or any other disease for that matter.
Personally, I would hesitate to add Wellbutrin to Prozac, I would lean towards a different type of med. Perhaps a mood stabilizer that doesn't promote depression relapses. I like Neurontin (gabapentin) as an add-on, Klonopin, Serzone, and some of those anti-anxiety meds that are not benzo derivatives. I can't think of their names but there are many ongoing discussions regarding the depression/anxiety/social phobia combo, and many psycho-babblers have considerable knowledge about unusual add-on's and whether or not they work.
I really hope you give the Prozac a chance to become steady-state before adding any other chemicals. Best of luck!
