Sceletium Tortuosum and Marijuana.

Alright, I suffer from really bad depression and found this:

Sceletium is a natural-SSRI and I was wondering if anyone could give me information or personal experiences with this. I also would like to know if taking this would contradict with me smoking weed. I think I'm losing nuero-transmitters which is causing me not to feel naturally happy anymore, so I'm hoping an SSRI will help and even more if it's all-natural!

what makes you think you're losing neuro-transmitters? it's kind of hard to tell haha.

if your depression is really that bad, it looks as if it would work alright but I really don't trust using chemicals like that, SSRI's and shit. they're only truly useful if you have an abnormally low level of serotonin in your brain. there's a very low chance of you having this, as it's the definition of clinical depression, few people rarely ever meet this definition.

just remember, SSRI's can leave you worse than you started if they don't work for you. I've seen less success with them and if you can make weed work for you that'd be the best thing imho.

Well, weed used to make me real happy all in itself, but there's not much variety here and most of the time I can only get indica's which don't help my depression at all. Now that I've grown such a tolerance from smoking sooo much, I only get an 15-20 minutes burst of happiness mostly followed by more depression once I'm stoned. Also, Sceletium is supposedly all-natural growing native in South Africa which leaves me to trust it also I read it isn't addictive for the most part.
