Taking Prozac while taking Norvac and Plavix

I had a heart attack on June 2, 2001. I take Norvasc 5 mg daily and Plavix 75 mg daily. I just started taking Prozac 20 mg daily as treatment for depression. I wonder about the interaction between SSRIs and the Norvac and Plavix.

I am afraid to answer because I do not know enough about those two medications, and do not prescribe or monitor them in my practice... you should ask the prescribing doctor or cardiologist.
