[0002] The present invention relates to novel 4-bicyclic carbocycle- and heterocycle-substituted tetrahydroisoquinoline derivative compounds, pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds, methods of using such compounds for the treatment of various neurological and psychological disorders and for combination therapy. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0003] It is well known that the neurotransmitters, dopamine (DA), norepinephrine (NE), and serotonin (5-HT), regulate a number of biological processes and that decreased levels of DA, NE, and 5-HT are associated with a number of neurological disorders and their physical manifestations. Significant effort has been expended on devising methods for adjusting the levels of these neurotransmitters in order to produce a desired pharmacol...
