Well, it depends which type of SSRI.
Ginkgo may have some undesirable effects, especially for individuals with blood circulation disorders and those taking anti-coagulants such as aspirin and warfarin, although recent studies have found that ginkgo has little or no effect on the anticoagulant properties or pharmacodynamics of warfarin[7][8]. Ginkgo should also not be used by people who are taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOI) or by pregnant women without first consulting a doctor.
Ginkgo side effects and cautions include: possible increased risk of bleeding, gastrointestinal discomfort, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headaches, dizziness, and restlessness.
If any side effects are experienced consumption should be halted immediately. Ginkgo supplements are usually taken in the range of 40–200 mg per day. If the side effects continue usage should be stopped completely.

List of SSRIs
Many drugs in this class are familiar in the USA through advertising, including the following:
(Trade names in parentheses)
* citalopram (Celexa, Cipramil, Emocal, Sepram, Seropram)
* escitalopram oxalate (Lexapro, Cipralex, Esertia)
* fluoxetine (Prozac, Fontex, Seromex, Seronil, Sarafem, Fluctin (EUR))
* fluvoxamine maleate (Luvox, Faverin)
* paroxetine (Paxil, Seroxat, Aropax, Deroxat, Paroxat)
* sertraline (Zoloft, Lustral, Serlain)
* dapoxetine (no known trade name)
Escitalopram is simply the left-handed s-enantiomer of the racemic citalopram. It had been introduced to the market just before the patent protection for citalopram had expired.
It is commonly thought that that the primary action of St. John's wort is as an SSRI.
Note that trazodone is not a typical member of the SSRIs - while it is a serotonin reuptake inhibitor, it is believed that its anti-depressant properties may be due to some of its other pharmacokinetic properties rather than its effect on serotonin reuptake inhibition. That said, it does still share many properties of the typical SSRIs, especially the possibility of the so-called ‘discontinuation syndrome’ (see the section on this below).

So go to the SSRI main page and look up the variuos names for whatever you want to take and see what it says PLEASE.
You might be safe just on St John’s and your Ginko too.
If you are looking for personal experiences with these compounds, I suggest lurking on one of many Smart-drug (nootropic) forums for people who claim to know way more than I do about all of this.
