I know there are medications that affect seratonin levels and they're called SSRI's - Selective Seratonin Reuptake Inhibitors.  I think some of them might be Paxil and Zoloft but I'm not a doctor.  You might be able to find more information on the internet.  Hope that helps.

I dont believe there are any prescription medicines. I know that 5-HTP increases seritonin.
