Came off a good six months ago, so had to take some time to think back. Donno if it is the same for you, but I noticed while I was on wellbutrin that I had absolutely no tolerance for caffeine, and had to really avoid non drowsy cold meds or anything with ephedra, and had to stop taking ginseng. Donno if avoiding those things will further reduce your need for benzos
I also found that even slight (in my case 25mg) changes in Wellbutrin dose had a significant and fairly rapid impact on undesirable effects such as headaches and inability to sleep.
As a pure antidepressant (vs lamictal, which has combined effects), it is the best I ever took (tho I admit I stuck to tricyclics, being bipolar), so good luck.
