Hi, Nmeyer!
Depending on your metabolism it can take 5-10 days for the drug to completely leave your system. Then your brain "reboots" adjusting to the lack of the drug in your system. Given the amount of time you've been off of it you may not have side effects or if you do they might not be too troublesome.
There's not really a way to predict how you'll respond.
Did you have side effects when you started the Zoloft? Is that why you stopped it?
Regards and good luck! Wildcat
