Although St. John's wort extract can certainly be effective on its
own, in my clinical experience I have found that the combination of
St. John's extract (300 mg, 0.3% hypericin content), magnesium (200
to 250 mg),
AND 5-HTP (100 mg) three times daily seems to WORK BETTER THAN using
any of these three supplements ALONE!."

I just got done reading "The Mood Cure" by Julia Ross and she states you can
take both SJW and 5HTP together, so that's why i was confused. I dont want
to take anything that's gonna kill me!
