At doses of 150 mgm a day and less effexor acts like prozac or any other ssri.
At higher doses it can be more stimulating as it works on other receptors
welbutrin is stimulating it has been associated with seizures so if you have a seizure disorder you shouldn't take it. the usual dose is `150mgm twice a day
If you are taking it for depression you might want to read

I was on wellbutrin, but not for long because it didn't really help me much at all, even at a higher dose. I'm currently on effexor, and while I know a lot of people don't like what it's done, it's really helped me a lot.
My sister was on a low dose of effexor and about 30 minutes after taking it, she would throw up. Her body couldn't take it. She is now on wellbutrin and has responded to it well. It's different for everyone.

Wellbutrin works like a charm. I never tried any of the other meds you mentioned. My shrink told me that she wouldn't put me on effexor unless it was a last ditch thing because of the side effects it has.

ALL 3 together? (you said and, not or)
I've take wellbutrin and it didn't really help;
I've taken effexor, and it gave me bizarre dreams, so I had interrupted sleep which made me feel worse;
I've never heard of the other one you mention.

well, thats quite the cocktail you got there. quite the nice mix of antidepressants and anti-psychotics. i dont know exactly what you want to ask with this question (i dont take any of those 3 drugs) but i know alot about them. i dont reckon you want to learn anything about the side effects of any of these drugs or their potential interactions?

My spouse was on abilify for awhile - It dragged him down way too much and had to stop taking it.
