2. The composition of claim 1 , comprising (1R,5S)-1-(naphthalen-2-yl)-3-aza-bicyclo[3.1.0]hexane or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

3. The composition of claim 2 , substantially free of (1S,5R)-1-(naphthalen-2-yl)-3-aza-bicyclo[3.1.0]hexane.

4. The composition of claim 1 , comprising (1S,5R)-1-(naphthalen-2-yl)-3-aza-bicyclo[3.1.0]hexane or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

5. The composition of claim 4 , substantially free of (1R,5S)-1-(naphthalen-2-yl)-3-aza-bicyclo[3.1.0]hexane.

6. A neurobiologically active composition effective to inhibit cellular uptake of one or more biogenic amine neurotransmitter(s) selected from norepinephrine, serotonin, and dopamine in a mammalian subject comprising an effective amount of a compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, enantiomer, polymorph, solvate, hydrate, and prodrug thereof, selected from the group consisting of: 1-(naphthalen-1-yl)-3-aza-bicyclo[3.1.0]hexane; (1R,5S)-1-(naphthalen-1-yl)-3-aza-bicyclo[3.1.0]hexane; and (1S,5R)-1-(naphthalen-1-yl)-3-aza-bicyclo[3.1.0]hexane.

7. A pharmaceutical composition comprising an effective amount of a compound selected from 1-(naphthalen-2-yl)-3-aza-bicyclo[3.1.0]hexane and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, formulated with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or vehicle.

8. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 7 , comprising (1R,5S)-1-(naphthalen-2-yl)-3-aza-bicyclo[3.1.0]hexane or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

9. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 8 , substantially free of (1S, 5R)-1-(naphthalen-2-yl)-3-aza-bicyclo[3.1.0]hexane.

10. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 7 , comprising (1S,5R)-1-(naphthalen-2-yl)-3-aza-bicyclo[3.1.0]hexane or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

11. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 10 , substantially free of (1R, 5S)-1-(naphthalen-2-yl)-3-aza-bicyclo[3.1.0]hexane.
