How do i stop taking wellbutrin (bupropion) sr 150mg 2x a day? i think its making me angrier and sadder

Talk to your doctor: Ideally, you should stop taking a medication the same way you started it: in collaboration with the doctor who prescribed it. Wellbutrin (bupropion) could be making you angrier & sadder, or there could be other reasons. In any case, there are usually no withdrawal symptoms when stopping wellbutrin; i've had many patients stop "cold turkey". Taking 1x/day a few days then stopping also works well.
