Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

When the Wellbutrin is started for some days the drug results in dizziness, slight increase in restlessness. In most individuals this side effect goes by own in around a week. You can wait for some more days and you will be alright. Nothing is needed to be done. For anxiety and dizziness you can take Clonazepam in low dose on a daily basis. This should help you.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
