Current use of psychotropic medications (ie, drugs normally prescribed for depression, mania, anxiety, insomnia, or psychosis) that cannot be discontinued 2 weeks prior to randomization. Fluoxetine is prohibited within 5 weeks of randomization. In the event of inadvertent administration of psychotropic medications during the 2 weeks prior to randomization, continued eligibility will be assessed on a case by case basis by the investigator and the medical monitor. 7. Use of drugs, supplements, prescription or nonprescription, or food that have psychoactive properties. In the event of inadvertent use of such products during the 2 weeks prior to randomization, continued eligibility will be assessed on a case by case basis by the investigator and the medical monitor. In addition, following a discussion of the individual case between the medical monitor and the investigator, the medical monitor may allow minimal anxiolytic medication (for example a benzodiazepine) use for subjects who experience significant intolerable anxiety during the final week of the study (Days 64-71). 8. Subjects who have been treated with monoamine oxidase inhibitors in the 14 days prior to the baseline visit. 9. Regular use of benzodiazepines during the 3 months prior to Screening (for at least 5 out of 7 days per week). 10.
