Eligibility criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:

Male and female participants must be 18 to 65 years of age, inclusive, at the time of screening.
Participants must meet reproductive criteria as outlined in the protocol.
Male and female participants who are overtly healthy. Healthy is defined as no clinically relevant abnormalities identified by a detailed medical history, complete physical examination, vital signs, 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG), and/or clinical laboratory tests.
Participants must be recreational sedative users, defined as those reporting using a sedative agent (eg, barbiturates, benzodiazepines) for its intoxicating effects on at least 10 lifetime occasions and at least once in the 12 weeks before the Screening Visit (Visit 1), but who have no signs of dependence and are not seeking treatment for their sedative use.
Participants must satisfactorily complete both the Naloxone Challenge and the Drug Discrimination phases.
Participants who are willing and able to comply with all scheduled visits, treatment plan, laboratory tests, lifestyle considerations, and other study procedures.
Body mass index (BMI) of 17.5 to 34 kg/m2, inclusive; and a total body weight >50 kg (110 lb).
Capable of giving signed informed consent as described in the protocol, which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the informed consent document (ICD) and in this protocol.

Exclusion Criteria

Participants with current or past diagnosis of any type of drug dependence within the past year. Diagnosis of substance and/or alcohol dependence (excluding caffeine and nicotine) will be assessed by the Investigator using the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders IV (DSM-IV) criteria performed at Screening. Current drug use will be allowed if the candidate can produce a negative urine sample and are free of any signs/symptoms of withdrawal. The candidate will be informed if they have a positive breathalyzer test.
Participants are heavy smokers or users of other types of nicotine products (>20 cigarettes equivalents per day)
Participants are unable to abstain from smoking for at least 2 hours before and at least 8 hours after study drug administration.
Evidence or history of clinically significant hematological, renal, endocrine, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, hepatic, psychiatric, neurological, or allergic disease (including drug allergies, but excluding untreated, asymptomatic, seasonal allergies at the time of dosing).
Participants with any history of sleep apnea, myasthenia or glaucoma.
Any condition possibly affecting drug absorption (eg, gastrectomy) excluding cholecystectomy within 1 year prior to study.
Clinical or laboratory evidence of active hepatitis A infection or a history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, hepatitis B, or hepatitis C, and/or positive testing for HIV, hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb), or hepatitis C antibody (HCVAb).
Participants with active suicidal ideation or suicidal behavior within 5 year prior to Screening as determined through the use of the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) or active ideation identified at Screening or on Day -1.
Other acute or chronic medical or psychiatric condition including recent (within the past year) or active suicidal ideation or behavior or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk associated with study participation or investigational product administration or may interfere with the interpretation of study results and, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the participant inappropriate for entry into this study.
Use of prescription or nonprescription drugs and dietary supplements within 7 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to the first dose of investigational product. (Refer to Section 6.5 for additional details).
Herbal supplements and herbal medications must be discontinued at least 28 days prior to the first dose of study medication.
Previous administration with an investigational drug within 30 days (or as determined by the local requirement) or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) preceding the first dose of investigational product used in this study.
Positive urine drug screen (UDS) for substances of abuse at each admission in Qualification and Treatment Phase, excluding tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). If a participant presents with a positive UDS excluding THC at any admission or any visit, the investigator, at his/her discretion, may reschedule a repeat UDS until the UDS is negative, excluding THC, before the participant is permitted to participate in any phase of the study.
Participants unable to abstain from using THC during the Qualification and Treatment Phases of the study..
Has participated in, is currently participating in, or is seeking treatment for substance-and/or alcohol-related disorders (excluding nicotine and caffeine).
Has a positive alcohol breathalyzer test at Screening or upon admission to the study center at Visits 2-6. Positive results may be repeated and/or participants re-scheduled at the Investigator's discretions.
Screening sitting BP >=140 mm Hg (systolic) or >=90 mm Hg (diastolic), following at least 5 minutes of rest. If BP is >=140 mm Hg (systolic) or >=90 mm Hg (diastolic), the BP should be repeated 2 more times and the average of the 3 BP values should be used to determine the participant's eligibility. Repeated BP tests should be spaced at least 5 minutes apart.
Baseline (screening) 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) that demonstrates clinically relevant abnormalities that may affect participant safety or interpretation of study results (eg, baseline corrected QT (QTc) interval >450 msec, complete left bundle branch block [LBBB], signs of an acute or indeterminate-age myocardial infarction, ST-T interval changes suggestive of myocardial ischemia, second- or third-degree atrioventricular [AV] block, or serious bradyarrhythmias or tachyarrhythmias). If the baseline uncorrected QT interval is >450 msec, this interval should be rate-corrected using the Fridericia method and the resulting QTcF should be used for decision making and reporting. If QTc exceeds 450 msec, or QRS exceeds 120 msec, the ECG should be repeated 2 more times and the average of the 3 QTc or QRS values should be used to determine the participant's eligibility. Computer-interpreted ECGs should be overread by a physician experienced in reading ECGs before excluding participants.

Participants with ANY of the following abnormalities in clinical laboratory tests at screening, as assessed by the study-specific laboratory and confirmed by a single repeat test, if deemed to be clinically significant in the opinion of the investigator:

Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) level >=1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN);
Total bilirubin level >=1.5 × ULN; participants with a history of Gilbert's syndrome may have direct bilirubin measured and would be eligible for this study provided the direct bilirubin level is <= ULN.
Blood donation (excluding plasma donations) of approximately 1 pint (500 mL) or more within 60 days prior to dosing.
History of sensitivity to heparin or heparin-induced thrombocytopenia.
Unwilling or unable to comply with the criteria in the Lifestyle Considerations section of this protocol.
History of hypersensitivity to gabapentin or diazepam or any of the components in the formulation of the study products.
Investigator site staff members directly involved in the conduct of the study and their family members, site staff members otherwise supervised by the investigator, or Sponsor employees, including their family members, directly involved in the conduct of the study.
