Brief Answer:
Either of the medicines could have a role to play.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on Health care magic.

You should halve the dose of Wellbutin for the time being while you seek an appointment with your treating physician. I would not insist you to stop it abruptly.

Neurontin (gabapentin) withdrawal could also be related and the dose needs to be dealt with thereafter.
