Maybe you reacted poorly to Wellbutrin because it increases noreprinephrine levels. Scott mentioned a couple days ago that he's been taking prazosin (Minipress) and likes it. It's an alpha-blocker, so it blocks the noreprinephrine receptors in the brain. I've been thinking of trying prazosin, but my blood pressure is already on the low side. I would try stick to a dose too low to affect my blood pressure, or affect it much.
These sites are about prazosin. They're about using it to treat PTSD instead of depression, but they contain useful information.
