It's the Wellbutrin - the reason I stopped it several years back. If you take Inderal, a beta blocker, the headache will stop. You need to take it on a regular basis to prevent future attacks...or bail the Wellbutrin and try something else not bound to cause headaches.
Hope your head feels better soon.
