I would talk to your doctor about it.  Anti-depressants alone without a mood stabilizer or other medications are dangerous for someone with bipolar disorder and can cause this sort of reaction.  More often than not, a mood stabilizer such as Lithium is necessary when an antidepressant is in use.

  What you are describing sounds like a mixed state but only a psychiatrist
would understand the clinical specifics. You can ask them if
this might be what is occurring. As Wellbutrin is overall an anti-depressant
and you are describing depression as your major concern this is most probably why they are prescribing it but you can ask them about this also.
Hopefully things will improve over time as you adjust to it.
