- Known history of seizures (except febrile seizures prior to age 5), anorexia nervosa, bulimia or current diagnosis or family history of Tourette's disorder;
- Subject who are severely underweight or overweight.
- Clinical value outside of the acceptable ranges, unless deemed NCS significant per the Investigator;
- Positive history for hepatitis B, hepatitis C and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV);
- Positive screening for illicit drug use, and/or current health conditions or use of medications that might confound the results of the study or increase risk to the subject;
- Use of prescription medications (except ADHD medications) within 7 days and over-the counter medications (except birth control) within the 3 days preceding study enrollment, unless deemed acceptable by the Investigator and Clinical and/or Medical Monitor;
- Blood draws of 50 ml to 249 ml within the 30 days, 250 ml to 449 ml within the 45 days and ≥ 450 ml within the 60 days preceding study enrollment;
- Participation in clinical trial with an investigational drug within the 30 days preceding study enrollment;
- Intolerance to venipuncture; and
- Current suicidal ideation or history of suicidality determined as a significant finding on the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) by the investigator (Baseline C-SSRS for adolescents; Pediatric Baseline C-SSRS for children).
