Hi,
Dizziness is one of the common side effect of Wellbutrin (bupropion). And as described by you, other medications are unlikely to be the reason for current symptoms as you are taking them for a long time.
Dizziness usually subsides over time with Wellbutrin. I would suggest you to wait if the symptoms are tolerable. If not you can ask for an alternative. I would also recommend blood pressure readings only to rule out any alterations.
I hope the above information helps you. Thanks for writing into healthcare magic. Have a nice day.
