sleep apnea and wellbutrin

hi
I have been taking wellbutrin for about 9 months.  In the last few months of these 9months, I have developed sleep apnea.  I was wondering if anyone who is taking wellbutrin has experienced any changes in sleep.  thanks so much.

I took Wellbutrin for 14 yrs, for SAD.  Over that time I used the SR 150 twice daily and was then to switched to the 300 XL.  That was fine.  Then this this summer the ins. co. insisted I try the generic.  At first I didn't notice any difference but now it seems I become extremely drowsy in the afternoon.  My confusion is compounded by the fact that different manufacturers are being used.  My pharmacist is very good and tries to make sure she orders from facilities in the U.S.  On the last two refills there was a label on the container that warned about drowsiness.  This was new.  I am wondering if anyone else has had this problem.  BTW, I have always taken this in the AM.
