2. Hemiplegic or basilar migraine
3. History, symptoms or signs of ischemic cardiac, cerebrovascular or peripheral vascular syndromes
4. Uncontrolled hypertension (screening systolic/diastolic blood pressure > 140/90 mmHg in 2 out of 3 readings)
5. Clinically significant hepatic impairment
6. History of epilepsy or conditions associated, which in the opinion of the Investigator, increase the likelihood of present day seizure
7. History (within 2 years) of drug or alcohol abuse as defined by DSM-IV-TR criteria

This determination must be recorded in the subject's source document prior to enrolment.
14. Fridericia's corrected QT (QTcF) interval greater than 450 msec
15. Severe renal impairment (creatinine > 2 mg/dl)
