As Phillipa indicated, absorption rates are greatly increased after bypass surgery. Your meds are being mainlined into your bloodstream as a result so any effects of a stimulating med will be greatly exaggerated.
YOu have listed many diagnoses, are they all current and what diagnosis is the main one for which you have the most distressing symptoms. It's hard to say what your baseline is at present since you are obviously in a distress mode but it seems as though you need to have your mood stabalized and probably shouldn't be taking Wellbutrin at all. At any rate you should not be on the immediate release type but on the sustained (SR) or extended (XR) release type.
How long have you been seeing your current psychiatrist and are you happy with her? You have a very complicated list of diagnoses and need a great doctor to manage your care because of this. She should be able to see you immediately for the symptoms you are describing. My pdoc will always see me for any acute symptoms since he knows if I call it's a true emergency.Good luck.
