> Day 4 of 150mg of bupropion. So far my mood is darker and I'm getting heart palpitations. Not a great start ... not too much hope here.

Wellbutrin consistently makes my depression worse. It becomes grayer and a little more slowed-down. I never had any autonomic side-effects, though.I think it's the right decision that you persist a bit longer. However, I have never had a drug make my depression significantly worse, and then go on to produce an antidepressant response.
I have no suggestion as to how long you should continue treatment with Wellbutrin if you continue to feel worse. My gut feeling is that if the worsening does not resolve after 7-10 days, it doesn't make sense for you continue with it. I am usually reluctant to suggest that someone stop taking a medication on day (n), just in case they would have felt great on day (n+1).
