man, that is rough. I don't know what to say. Do you think you'll adjust? I mean, do you think you can make a go without the wellbutrin, or maybe find something else for depression (Lamictal is working quite well for me, for instance) ?
Can you try something else, like Provigil or low-dose Ritalin? I know it sounds strange, but I tolerated low-to-moderate dose stimulants better than the more activating antidepressants. There's some research showing that people with psychotic disorders can benefit from carefully dosed stimulants. In addition to helping with the depression and what not that come with the illness, they help counteract sedation and drug-induced cognitive problems. Just a thought.
Anyway, I hope things get better for you. There are other drugs that hit dopamine and norepinephrine somewhat; I think high dose Effexor does that, but lower doses are more SRI/SNRI.
Good luck!
