• Acute illness, especially any infection, within 2 weeks of dosing.
• Systolic blood pressure < 90 or >150 mmHg; diastolic blood pressure < 50 or > 95 mmHg at screening or at check-in on Day -1 (2 rechecks are allowed).
• Subjects with benign prostatic hyperplasia or orthostatic hypotension (as evidenced by reduction of 20 mmHg or more in systolic blood pressure, reduction of 10 mmHg or more in diastolic blood pressure, or evidence of cerebral hypoperfusion upon standing from a seated position).
• History of retinitis pigmentosa or nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy.
• Any history of bipolar disorder or psychosis, history of psychiatric hospitalization, greater than one lifetime episode of major depression.
