Valium and Wellbutrin

I am currently taking 15 mg of valium a day and just started 100 mg Wellbutrin a day for severe anxiety. The only information I read is that Wellbutrin is for Depression, is this also a medication to help with anxiety?

Be careful with the wellbutrin -- since it's a pure antidepressant, it is stimulating, and is known to cause anxiety.  Keep a careful watch on how you react to it.  Now what I'd recommend, but I'm just a sufferer, not a clueless psychiatrist.  Do you have depression?  If not, wellbutrin is a strange choice.

It is frequently used for anxiety along with depression, and seems to help with the anxiety in a different way than the valium.
