How long have you been taking the bupropion (Wellbutrin)? It can cause mild to moderate sedation in about 20% of users but this side effect generally resolves within days to a couple of weeks. If it's persisted longer than that you need to report it to your doctor along with a progress report of how it's improving your symptoms. It's very important to stay in close touch with your doctor during this initial period.
Your brain's mechanisms are going through great changes and you need to be closely monitored.
You might ask about a dosage adjustment if you're still feeling sleepy all the time.
