No nephropathy (e.g., absence of albuminuria and GFR \>60).
Participant has a known intolerance to other NRIs or SNRIs.
Participant currently uses concomitant antihypertensive medication for the treatment of essential hypertension.
Participant has used strong CYP1A2 inhibitors or inducers within 7 days or 5 half lives, whichever is longer, prior to Visit 2 (Day 1) or requires concomitant use until the Safety follow-up Visit.
Participant has changed dose, frequency, or type of prescribed medication for orthostatic hypotension within 7 days prior to Visit 2 (Day 1).
Midodrine and droxidopa (if applicable) must be tapered off and stopped at least 7 days prior to Visit 2 (Day 1).
Participant has known or suspected alcohol or substance abuse within the past 12 months (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition, Text Revision \[DSM IV TR®\] definition of alcohol or substance abuse).
Participant has clinically unstable coronary artery disease or had a major cardiovascular event (e.g., myocardial infarction) in the past 6 months.
Participant has significant uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmia, history of complete heart block, or significant QTc prolongation (≥450 msec for males and ≥470 msec for females).
Participant has a new onset of a neurological event (i.e., seizures, confusion, altered levels of consciousness, etc.) in the past 6 months.
Participant has used any monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) within 14 days prior to Visit 2 (Day 1).
Participant has a history of untreated closed angle glaucoma, or treated closed angle glaucoma that, in the opinion of an ophthalmologist, might result in an increased risk to the participant.
Participant has a Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) \<21.
Participant is unable or unwilling to complete all protocol specified procedures including questionnaires.
Participant has known congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association \[NYHA\] Class 3 or 4).
Participant has had any malignant disease, other than carcinoma in situ of the cervix or basal cell carcinoma, within the past 2 years prior to Screening.
Participant has a known gastrointestinal (GI) condition, which in the Investigator's judgment, may affect the absorption of study medication (e.g., ulcerative colitis, gastric bypass).
Participant has psychiatric, neurological, or behavioral disorders that may interfere with the cognitive ability of the participant to give informed consent, understand and comply with study procedures, or interfere with the conduct of the study.
Participant is currently receiving any investigational drug or has received an investigational drug within 30 days of dosing. An investigational drug is defined as a drug that is not approved by a regulatory agency (e.g., Food and Drug Administration \[FDA\]).
Participant has a clinically significant abnormal laboratory finding(s) (e.g., alanine aminotransferase \[ALT\] or aspartate aminotransferase \[AST\] ≥3.0 x upper limit of normal \[ULN\]; blood bilirubin \[total\] ≥3.0 x ULN; estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) \<30 mL/min/1.73 m2, or any abnormal laboratory value that could interfere with safety of the participant).
Participant has demonstrated lifetime suicidal ideation and/or suicidal behavior, as outlined by the C-SSRS (Baseline/Screening Version). Participant should be assessed by the rater for risk of suicide and the participant's appropriateness for inclusion in the study.
Participant has a concurrent disease or condition (e.g., COVID-19), or recent surgery, that in the opinion of the Investigator, would confound or interfere with study participation or evaluation of safety, tolerability, or absorption of the study drug.
