How long does it take for anti depresent to leave your body?

The time it takes for an antidepressant to leave your body varies depending on the specific medication, its half-life, and individual factors like metabolism. Generally, most antidepressants can take several days to weeks to fully clear from your system after discontinuation. For instance, SSRIs like fluoxetine may take longer due to their active metabolites, while others with shorter half-lives may clear more quickly. Always consult a healthcare provider for personalized information regarding medication.
