A method of enhancing positive effects of a psychedelic, by pretreating an individual with an antidepressant, administering a psychedelic to the individual, and inducing a more positive psychological state in the individual with the antidepressant-psychedelic combination compared with the psychedelic alone. A method of enhancing positive effects of a psychedelic, by inhibiting serotonin transport in an individual, increasing levels of endogenous monoamines in the individual, and stimulating 5-HT.sub.2A receptors in the individual. A composition including an antidepressant and a psychedelic in the same dosage form.

This invention relates to the use of (4-benzylpiperazin-1-yl)-[2-(3-methylbutylamino)pyridin-3-yl]methanone (NSI-189) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof in the treatment of a psychiatric condition in which depressive symptoms are prominent, including major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, substance use disorder, and depression-related aspects of schizophrenia (e.g. negative symptoms), in a patient who is cognitively impaired or has poor or slow cognition or difficulty making decisions or exhibits certain EEG properties. The present invention also relates to the selection of patients with a biomarker (e.g., EEG) and/or clinical symptoms who would most benefit from such compounds.

Described herein is a method for forming multi-layer drug dosage forms having at least two layers. In the method, a first formulation comprising a non-gelling matrix forming agent and having a first density is dosed into a preformed mold. A second formulation comprising a non-gelling matrix former and having a second density not equal to the first density is subsequently dosed into the preformed mold. Then, the combination of the formulations dosed into the mold is freeze dried to form the multi-layer dosage form having at least two layers. The use of a density difference between the first and second formulations ensures formation of a product with two distinct layers.

Disclosed herein are inclusion complexes comprising vilazodone or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and an inclusion material, compositions and pharmaceutical formulations comprising the inclusion complexes, and methods for preparing the inclusion complexes, compositions or pharmaceutical formulations.

The present invention relates to cyclobenzaprine analogs and amitriptyline analogs, including deuterated forms useful for treatment or prevention of symptoms associated with post-traumatic stress disorder.

Provided are compositions comprising unequal mixtures of (R)-amisulpride and (S)-amisulpride, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, where the amount of (R)-amisulpride is greater than the amount of (S)-amisulpride, compositions and medicaments comprising the same used for the treatment of various diseases and disorders, and methods of using same for the treatment of various diseases and disorders, including, but not limited to, dosage regimens. In addition, provided are various formulations thereof, including, but not limited to, formulations employing polymorphs of enantiomeric amisulpride.
