Hi, Mell!
No medication is "stronger" than another... it simply depends on how a drug affects you as an individual.
Maybe you you need an increased dosage of the Wellbutrin (bupropion). Maybe you need a booster like Abilify or Rexulti. Maybe you need a different medication.
Since there are no tests that can be done (that are considered reliable) to determine which medication will be most effective for you it becomes a matter of trial and error in finding the right one(s).
If you have treatment resistant depression you might ask your doctor about Aplenzin which is a sort of very high potency form of bupropion.
