Prozac is one exception. Fluoxetine is unique because of its long half-life and the long half-life of its active metabolite norfluoxetine. Fluoxetine has a half-life of 4-6 days and its active metabolite, norfluoxetine, has a half-life of 4-16 days. So, it is usually advised to give Prozac a 25 day washout period.
