> I have had severe depression for the past four years, apparently (but not definitely) brought on by high, chronic doses of the supplement 5-HTP combined with Saint John's Wort. Before it I very much enjoyed taking drugs such as marijuana and painkillers.My spontaneous reaction is, which are more likely to cause treatment-resistant depression, '5-htp + saint john's wort' or 'marijuana + painkiller + other street drugs'? I would bet on the latter.

Depends on what you're trying to achieve, get high and possibly damage the brain or recover from depression. You definitely don't need more of the substances mentioned above, they will only deplete your brain of transmittor substances further. I really hope you get a relief with the MAOI's, there are a lot meds to try, especially in combination with each other.
Best wishes and good luck.
