Can you permanently deplete your dopamine from excessive drug use?
The stimulation of dopamine production in the brain, or the imitation of its action, is one of the primary ways that drugs and addictive activities please us. Likewise, a shortage of dopamine is one of the causes of withdrawal. However, it would be more correct to say that we become addicted to the things that stimulate it, since dopamine itself is a normal part of our brain chemistry. To put it simply, yes. But technically, no. Say you're taking crack. Whenever you take it, you get a rush of domapine and other effects (reduced pain, lightheadedness). The dopamine level is so high that the body raises it's "expected level" of dopamine, so not taking crack makes you depressed, and causes the opposite of the other effects (body pain, headaches). In a way, this causes the addiction. If you were to take actual, synthetic dopamine, and take it often, you couldn't actually get addicted to it, but you would be depressed without it.

Is it okay to take SamE 5htp and Wellbutrin XL together since Wellbutrin works primarily on dopamine and the others on seratonin?
Of course, I must insist that you speak with your doctor about this, however... It is thought, but not completely proven, that Wellbutrin works primarily on dopamine and norepinephrine, while SamE and 5-HTP affect serotonin. This would lead one to believe that this combination is safe, personally I have taken Wellbutrin and 5-HTP together with no side effects. Yet again, ask your doctor before combining a prescription drug with any other drug, chemical or herb.
