Claims

1. A method of treating a mammal suffering from a disease, condition, or disorder selected from the group consisting of a psychotropic disorder, an anxiety disorder, a generalized anxiety disorder, depression, a post-traumatic stress disorder, an obsessive-compulsive disorder, a panic disorder, a hot flash, senile dementia, migraine, hepatopulmonary syndrome, chronic pain, nociceptive pain, neuropathic pain, painful diabetic retinopathy, bipolar depression, obstructive sleep apnea, a psychiatric disorder, a premenstrual dysphoric disorder, a social phobia, a social anxiety disorder, urinary incontinence, anorexia, bulimia nervosa, obesity, ischemia, head injury, calcium overload in brain cells, drug dependence, and premature ejaculation comprising administering to said mammal a therapeutically effective amount of a compound having structural Formula 1

2. The method of claim 1, wherein said disease, condition, or disorder is depression.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the compound of Formula I affects decreased inter-individual variation in plasma levels of said compound or a metabolite thereof as compared to the non-isotopically enriched compound.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the compound of Formula I affects increased average plasma levels of said compound per dosage unit thereof as compared to the non-isotopically enriched compound.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the compound of Formula I affects decreased average plasma levels of at least one metabolite of said compound per dosage unit thereof as compared to the non-isotopically enriched compound.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the compound of Formula I affects a decreased metabolism by at least one polymorphically-expressed cytochrome P₄₅₀ isoform in mammalian subjects per dosage unit thereof as compared to the non-isotopically enriched compound.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein said cytochrome P₄₅₀ isoform is selected from the group consisting of CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, and CYP2D6.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the compound of Formula I affects a decreased inhibition of at least one cytochrome P₄₅₀ isoform in mammalian subjects per dosage unit thereof as compared to the non-isotopically enriched compound.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein said cytochrome P₄₅₀ isoform is selected from the group consisting of CYP1A1, CYP1A2, CYP1B1, CYP2A6, CYP2A13, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C18, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP2E1, CYP2G1, CYP2J2, CYP2R1, CYP2S1, CYP3A4, CYP3A5, CYP3A5P1, CYP3A5P2, CYP3A7, CYP4A11, CYP4B1, CYP4F2, CYP4F3, CYP4F8, CYP4F11, CYP4F12, CYP4×
