   I can't help you with brainwave synchronization tips, but I thought I'd   
   clear up one point here.  SSRI's don't prevent serotonin from being   
   produced.  That would be a bad thing when someone is depressed, because   
   low levels of serotonin and/or inefficiency in its being distributed in   
   the brain are part of depression.  What SSRI's do is slow down the   
   reabsorption (reuptake) of serotonin.  This makes more of it available   
   for use for a longer time.   
      
   If you scroll down to sections 5 - 8 on this website you can see it   
   explained clearly:
