Hi:
First off, 'Welbutrin' does NOT cause 'manicky.' In my knowledge, just SSRIs bring up on 'manic' episodes, if you're 'predisposed.' However, it sounds to me like you're NOT in that/manic classification. Rather, you're on depressive side as seeing your med. combo., particularly Lamical is said to be more like 'A.D.' property, thus some of 'unipolar folks' are placed on this med. if none of A.D.s do not work on them.In my guess, ... the reason behind this/discontinuation is, .... probably, your pdoc. has some concern over 'too much A.D.' effect in your system, ... a 'pure' A.D., Effexor, 'Lamictal,' and Lithium that has some 'A.D.' effect. Altogether 4 differenct classes of A.D., if WB added. However, most of cases, WB is used for 'ADD' associated with depression rather for 'A.D.' effect. Then, I totally understand your rebound problem, 'difficult' concentration due to 'lack' of WB efficacy in your system.
If I were you, ... probably call the pdoc. to see whether he/she would allow you back on just a small-dosage, somewhere around 100 - 150 mg. a day until your concentration restored.
