Yes, I would definately not take the combination.
Over time this can lead to dramatic increases in
serotonin, causing Serotonin Syndrome

Symptoms of Serotonin Syndrome Are:
- Extreme anxiety (can be psychotic)
- Rapid changes in body temperate (hot-cold)
- Rapid heartbeat
- Intense fear/panic (like something has gone
terribly wrong)
- Sweating
- Diahrea / abnormal bowel function
etc.
The symptoms can be gradual, but usually emmerge within about an hour (usually at bedtime/night)

There have been many cases of this syndrome
when combining the two together.

Discontine either of the two, presumably the
SJW (unless your depression is mild/moderate
and want to try SJW alone)

Good Luck
any other questions ?
