5-HTP and Wellbutrin

Am currently taking Wellbutrin and would like to give 5-HTP a try as I am sooooo tired and fatigued and trying to not take something I shouldn't...
I read not to take 5-HTP with anti-depressents that are a SSRI. From what I can read about Wellbutrin, it is not one of those. Guess I could call the pharmacist to be certain before mixing the two.

Thanks. Called the pharmacist and find Wellbutrin is a SSRI so taking the 5-HTP would not have a benefit. He said one would cancel out the other. Hmm...guess it is time to start riding the bike!
