No.

If the half life is 5 then it takes 5 hours for half of that remaining drug to be left in your body.

So after 10 hours that drug will no longer be in your system....HOWEVER, this is only really in theory because of your body's mechanics.

Hence why it can take a while to get in your system, it can take a while to get out. Also hence it depends on how long you have been on the drug, dose etc.

I'm no psychiatrist though so always take the advice of your clinician which you are doing. Not that I am advising anything.
