Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Multiple dose PK parameters for Lexapro when administered alone and coadministered with aripiprazole will be derived. Cmin for aripiprazole,dehydro-aripiprazole will be measured

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Safety will be based on review of AEs, VS, ECGs, physical exam, clinical labs
