Noa, you're in a tough spot. The Effexor is obviously not carrying its share of the weight. You had a bad reaction to the TCAs, which category of TCAs caused the most problems? You have the CNS Stimulant, which isn't helping all that much right now, possibly due to the Effexor wimping out on you. Okay, Wellbutrin doesn't impress me when compared to the TCAs, but does impress me when compared to some of the SSRIs. I don't see any reason not to give it a go, especially in light of the fact that it's considered a stimulating AD.
I have replaced my Wellbutrin with Serzone almost a month ago, and have been really impressed for once in my life. Wellbutrin made my hands shake, as did Prozac, and I felt a little edgy when the Adderall and Wellbutrin overlapped, but it didn't numb my ability to laugh, or be happy like the prozac did. And it slowed me down, which might do the opposite for you, since I seem to be backwards or something. From what I have read, MAOIs can really work where most ADs fail, I find them an interesting option, though the restrictions make me hesitate.
Let us know how you're doing, I hope you get email access back at home soon :-)
