| medicines, side effects, HELP! -

alright. to start this out i'm going to have to bore you with a few details to my problem. almost two years ago, i started on zoloft. i've been on it, in stedily increasing dosages for quite some time now. as of awhile ago, i've been taking 200 mg. of course, this turned me into a horrible zombie. after trying to endure the sleepy-ness for a few months, i finally confronted my doctor with this side effect that was claiming my life. so to help me out, she started me on 100 mg of wellbutrin, twice a day. after a month, i told her that the symptoms of my fatigue and depression were subsiding a bit... and my weight was going down a little too. of course, pleased with these results, but not convinced they were good enough, she bumped up my dosage to 150mg twice a day. to boot, i'm also on 10 mg singulair (asthema), and 10 mg clairiton. i know what the side effects of all of these are...
so now, as of this morning, my body is jittery, but my mind is asleep. i'm nauseaus and vomiting (mostly stomach acid) and when i'm not doing either of those two, i'm dizzy and disoriented. my body is in horrible pain most of the time so i LIVE off of advil and ibuprofin. the thing i don't understand is: how come all of a sudden, after a week of taking that much wellbutrin, is my body JUST now experiencing these side effects. i understand that they are all side effects of both wellbutrin and zoloft, but i've been taking this combo for a month and a half now? can someone give me some idea what's going on and what i can do about it (besides go to the doctor)? is it the medicine, or is there possibly something else wrong with me? please, any advice is appreciated.
blessed be,
