Hello
Welcome to HCM
Lyrica is pregabalin and wellbutrin is bupropion. Bupropion is a good anti-depressant drug and it is commonly used in mild depression cases and some anxiety conditions. Pregabalin is also used in anxiety disorders. Wellbutrin is usually used in 150-300 mg doses. The increase in dose from 300 to 450 has resulted in increased anxiety and severe restlessness. As per my opinion you should decrease the dose to 300 mg again and then see your psychiatrist.
Thanks
