> I've been prescribed 150mg once per day for a week and then twice per day thereafter. I took my first dose last night and I HATE it. I'm still shaky and jittery and I think my blood pressure is elevated. This feels worse than being on nothing at all.

Generally speaking, no. As I understand it, Wellbutrin is supplied in SR (slow release) and XR (extended release) preparations to minimize the risk of epileptic seizure. By tampering with these tablets, you would be interfering with the slow / extended release properties.
