I know some people who were on lexapro+wellbutrin, and it worked fairly well. If I recall, one acquaintance did need Ambien for sleep issues that may have been related to the combo.
There's a little bit of research on AD combos. I think most of the research is on remeron+effexor. For a while that was a last ditch effort for depression. Now, I think some docs (at least around here) do lil cocktails from day 1.
Anyway...if it works, that's what matters. Tinkering with dosage may be the most important thing, or at least that's how it sounds to me. As rj mentioned, there are other ssri drugs you could try and there's also other augmenting drugs besides wellbutrin you could look into, with your pdoc. Remeron and some tca drugs come to mind, along with buspar and low dose stimulants.
Hope things work out for you.
