Coming off diazepam while on Wellbutrin

I was recently prescribed a weeks worth of diazepam to help with high dose baclofen (had been taking for roughly two months) withdrawals from a fairly rapid titration. With the diazepam I started at 35mg on day 1, then titrated down 5mg a day for a week and took my last dose of 5mg this morning. The thing is is that I'm also on 300mg of Wellbutrin SR a day for depression. My concern first and foremost is will I have any WD symptoms from the diazepam? And secondly, will the Wellbutrin exacerbate the WDs as it lowers your seizure threshold and generally kind of makes you anxious.

P.S. I also have a large supply of clonidine if that will help with any withdrawals that may come up.
 
How long have you been using the valium? Over how long a period did you go down to 5mg from 35mg?
 
I've been on it for exactly a week. Cut 5mg each day from 35 to 5. Still have about 30mgs left if I need to titrate slower.
