Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

Subject must voluntarily sign and date the written Informed Consent prior to any study specific procedures
Subject must be 18 to 60 years of age

A highly effective method of birth control is defined as those which result in a lower failure rate (i.e., less than 1% per year) when used consistently and correctly such as implants, injectables, combined oral contraceptives, some intrauterine devices (IUDs), sexual abstinence or vasectomised partner.

Exclusion Criteria:

Mania
Narrow angle glaucoma
