Your question is too vague. 

What sort of reuptake compound -- reuptake agonist (increases uptake)
or reuptake antagonist (decreases uptake)? 

What do you mean "in combination with serotonin"? You can't "take"
serotonin.

Where do you mean by "in the brain"? Serotonin is released into the
synapse where it performs its neuromodulation function. You want that
level increased? Or do you want it increased within the serotonin
releasing cells?
