Yes.: Prozac (fluoxetine)'s half life is 7 days. After 3 days off durg, your Prozac (fluoxetine) level in the blood is still close to plateau for 10mg prazac.

Sam-e: Be very careful with sam-e as I have had patients who have had negative reactions as it is not regulated and difficult to ascertain dosage. Consult the prescribing doctor for advice as soon as possible. Best wishes.
