How Long Do The Side Effects Of Zoloft Persist?

I ve been taking zoloft off and on for several years for mild depression but i stopped taking it because i was experiencing strange side effects related to sexual function (not ED). If I resume taknig zoloft, how long after taking a dose do it s effects remain? In other words, could I stop taking it temporarily (a day or two) and expect the side effects to stop for awhile?

HI
Well come to HCM
I appreciate your concern, anti-depressant may not cause the erectile dysfunction and if you are experienced this then it could be due to depression it self and not the medicine you have taken, depression is the common cause of slugglish erection, in my opinion you can continue the medicine and can discus about this to your psychiatrist, and if you are doing well without the medicine and having good erection then you can stop the medicine, hope this information helps.
