wow. thats unfortunate...sorry :-(
But..maybe you could keep the Wellbutrin (maybe up it a bit) and then add something specifically for anxiety, like BuSpar? BuSpar certainly isn't *great*, but it does help some people and it can also help with depression with or without an antidepressant. Best of all...it doesn't have a noticeable withdrawal syndrome, so you can stop treatment very quickly without fear of any sort of problems.
If that doesn't interest you, and you need something for anxiety, you could probably try a benzo, short-term at least, until you find something more satisfactory for the long-term. If therapy is helping you a lot, you might be able to just take a benzo PRN on *rare* occasions when your new coping mechanisms fail you.
Good luck!
