I can usually sit in the car till I feel like I can drive. It just looks like I'm letting it warm up. have you added a stimulant to wellbutrin? I know the wellbutrin is a stimulant, I'm just not quite feeling clear headed or motivated, just awake. My pdoc mentioned ritalin and adderall. I'm thinking I should be open to either.
I'm on Wellbutrin and am trying Ritalin right now for some of the same symptoms you're describing. Hard to tell if it's helping because I don't sleep much these days, but I think it helps some.

Had insomnia before the Ritalin, so I don't think the Ritalin is keeping me up but it has that risk. Don't know anything about Adderall. Hope whatever you do helps.
