- Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Lisdexamfetamine Dimesylate [ Time Frame: Day 15 and Day 30 (24 hour sampling) ]Lisdexamfetamine dimesylate (SPD489) itself is inactive, but following oral administration is converted to the active isomer, d-amphetamine, that is responsible for the drug's therapeutic activity.
- Cmax of d-Amphetamine [ Time Frame: Day 15 and Day 30 (24 hour sampling) ]d-Amphetamine is the active isomer of Lisdexamfetamine dimesylate (SPD489) and is responsible for the drug's therapeutic activity.
- Cmax of Venlafaxine Hydrochloride [ Time Frame: Day 15 and Day 30 (24 hour sampling) ]Venlafaxine Hydrochloride is the active ingredient of Effexor XR
- Cmax of o-Desmethylvenlafaxine [ Time Frame: Day 15 and Day 30 (24 hour sampling) ]Venlafaxine, after oral administration, is metabolized in the liver to an active metabolite, o-Desmethylvenlafaxine.
- Cmax of Composite (Venlafaxine + o-Desmethylvenlafaxine) [ Time Frame: Day 15 and Day 30 (24 hour sampling) ]
- Area Under the Steady-state Plasma Concentration-time Curve (AUC) of Lisdexamfetamine Dimesylate [ Time Frame: Day 15 and Day 30 (24 hour sampling) ]
- AUC of d-Amphetamine [ Time Frame: Day 15 and Day 30 (24 hour sampling) ]
- AUC of Venlafaxine Hydrochloride [ Time Frame: Day 15 and Day 30 (24 hour sampling) ]
- AUC of o-Desmethylvenlafaxine [ Time Frame: Day 15 and Day 30 (24 hour sampling) ]
- AUC of Composite (Venlafaxine + o-Desmethylvenlafaxine) [ Time Frame: Day 15 and Day 30 (24 hour sampling) ]
- Time of Maximum Plasma Concentration (Tmax) of Lisdexamfetamine Dimesylate [ Time Frame: Day 15 and Day 30 (24 hour sampling) ]
- Tmax of d-Amphetamine [ Time Frame: Day 15 and Day 30 (24 hour sampling) ]
- Tmax of Venlafaxine Hydrochloride [ Time Frame: Day 15 and Day 30 (24 hour sampling) ]
- Tmax of o-Desmethylvenlafaxine [ Time Frame: Day 15 and Day 30 (24 hour sampling) ]
- Tmax of Composite (Venlafaxine + o-Desmethylvenlafaxine) [ Time Frame: Day 15 and Day 30 (24 hour sampling) ]
- Systolic Blood Pressure [ Time Frame: Baseline and up to 39 days ]
- Diastolic Blood Pressure [ Time Frame: Baseline and up to 39 days ]
- Pulse Rate [ Time Frame: Baseline and up to 39 days ]
