a

Pill count and Diary data are shown as mean (SD) proportion of study doses taken as a function of the number of study doses prescribed. Percent compliant (% Comp) is shown as the proportion of participants with ≥ 80% of study doses taken at that visit.

b

Riboflavin data are shown as the mean (SD) ng/ml of riboflavin detected at each visit. Percent complaint is shown as the proportion of participants with ≥ 900 ng/ml riboflavin detected at that visit.

c

6-OH-buspirone data are shown as the mean (SD) ng/ml of the metabolite detected at each visit. Percent complaint is shown as the proportion of participants with > 0 ng/ml detected at that visit. The Prevalence and Bias Adjusted Kappa (PABAK) is shown.
