Brief Answer:
Doing great. No worries

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking

I read your question and I understand your concern. With zoloft being discontinued for the last 2 and a half weeks I don't see any reason to be concerned about. Half life of zoloft is 26 hours only and with in a few days it is completely out of the symptoms. Discontinuation symptoms also last hardly for 7 to 10 days.

So in Nutshell you not only have cleared the drug from your system but also got out of the withdrawal period. So no worries. You are doing just fine. Just treat your cramps and headaches symptomatically and that's it.

I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and don't forget to close the discussion please.
