According to others on this board, Wellbutrin prevents/slows down the break-down/metobolism of cymbalta. So if you add Wellbutrin to Cymbalta you need to a) Take them at different times during the day at least 8 hours apart b) try lowering the cymbalta some. The reason is that as the Wellbutrin prevents the cymbalta from being broken down/digested/metobolized then you have MORE cymbalta floating in your system causing more sedation/apathy/tiredness.
Also you should take Wellbutrin SR or Wellbutrin but not Wellbutrin XL with Cymbalta.
I mixed 100MG Wellbutrin in AM with 60MG Cymbalta at evening and its working very well for me (I was 90 MG Cymbalta but it was too much apathy/sedating/tiredness).
Good luck - let me know how it works out.
