Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns...

As per your complain Wellbutarin (bupropion) that is an anti depressant medicine and dry mouth, bloating and emotional imbalances are due to side effect of the increased dose of medicine..
Bad taste is occurring due to dryness of mouth and Bruxism is due to anxiety and stress..

Nothing to worry consult your treating doctor and get evaluated and he can alter the dose of medicine so that you get relieved of the side effects..

For Dry mouth you can chew sugar free chewing gum as it improves salivation as well as improve taste..
Drink plenty of water..

For Bruxism mouth guard can be advised by a dentist, so better consult once..

For wrecked emotional stability you can do meditation and breathing exercises by proper guidance by an expert as it will have a cumulative effect along with Medication..

Hope this information helps..
