My guess is that, while the Wellbutrin may be part of the agitation, a bigger issue is the lack of meaningful mood stabilization. 75mg of Lamictal isn't considered within the therapeutic range for mood stabilization. If you can't raise it to therapeutic levels, maybe a better idea is to swap it for a more effective mood stabilizer.
I agree with Maddie, about calling your doctor and asking to be seen ASAP. What you're describing is not OK, there's some med in there that isn't wanting to be your friend. The sooner you get to your doctor, the sooner that can be addressed -- and the sooner you can get to feeling better.
And Maddie's also right that you're not nuts. You don't look at all like a cashew, nor even an acorn. ;-) You're just sounding like someone who's having a reaction to medication changes, and probably feels pretty wretched because of it. I've experienced it myself, and I'll bet half the people here have had similar experiences. (In fact, one of my worst was on a combination of Zoloft, Lamictal, and Xanax. If you've been on that combination for a while, it's probably not that, but just in case that's a newer combo for you, it might be how all the drugs you're taking are interacting, not one specific drug.)
Good luck, and I hope you'll let us know what happens.
