Joy,
While I haven't used Wellbutrin with Prozac, I have with both Paxil and later Zoloft (both in the same class as Prozac). Initially this was done to counter the feeling of being tired on Paxil, which to a degree it helped. The better result was that it helped my depression even further.
I don't know if Prozac alone is stimulating to you or not, but keep in mind most people find Wellbutrin to be. In my case I loved the effect, but for some it can take a little getting used to.
I don't know how your asthma would come into play with Wellbutrin's very slight seizure risk. However, if your doctor doesn't think it's a problem, based on my personal experience I would recommend the combination. I found it effective.
Hope that helps a little.Kelly
