HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Effexor xr is transformed into an active metabolite/form in the liver. This approximate half life of the drug (the active metabolite)is 11 plus/minus 2 hours according to the FDA and other medical sources.
This would be prolonged with liver or kidney disease.
trazadone has a half life of 7 to 10 hours
The half life of prozac would be influenced by how long it has been used.
If it was recently started the half life would be 1 to 3 days, if it has been used for a long period, the half life would be 4 to 6 days.
Klonopin has a half life of 17 to 60 hours in adults
