Did your doc adjust any of your other meds, things like the Wellbutrin that could speed you up? Every time I've had mania, I usually end up with a double med change. My pdocs have always used Seroquel to help when I'm manic and might or might not tinker with the Lamictal, depending. It takes awhile to find the right dose. For a long time, 200 mg worked, then 300 mg (then got very hypomanic), pdoc upped it to 400 mg. Pdoc added Clonidine to help with anxiety but also causes sleepiness in a lot of people. My last hypomanic phase, when my pdoc increased all that, he told me if I'm still not sleeping, taking 10 mg of melatonin as well.

The first time I was given Seroquel, it was actually just for sleep, and it was a much smaller dose, 25 mg or something like that. Knocked me right out. I haven't come across a better med for sleep than Seroquel.

It takes awhile to come down from mania too though. Hope you get feeling better soon.

For me, getting sleep helps me so much when I am stuck in manic mode.
