Theoretically, it's a very bad idea to combine SJW with a serotonergic antidepressants (like an SSRI, Effexor, trazadone, nefazadone, remeron, etc), just as it is not a good idea to combine 5-htp and serotonergic antidepressant.
I wouldn't risk it, personally. Plus I don't think SJW is very effective for depression, personally.
