Plus, in addition to what Nolvas says, I would be skeptical about those tests. Larry Hoover knew alot about these sort of things...perhaps you could search the archives to see if he'd written anything about it.
Anyway, the sertonin definciency theory of depression is a mite simplistic, IMHO, and its probably alot more complicated than that...
I also think that SSRIs are rather over-hyped in their effectiveness...its just that the vast majority of studies done, just so happen to be funded by, guess who? The makers of SSRIs....so... don't feel bad if they don't work for you. They don't work for alot of people!
SJW, however, is definately worth it. I think its the best thing I've tried for depression/anxiety overall. Vivid dreams are a common side effect of many pysch meds. And incidentally, SJW is supposed to effect sertonin, noradrenalin and dopamine and GABA....although no-ones really sure yet apparently.
A good resource for SJW is:
Its sort of a babble for SJW.
