Hello,
It does sound like you are having some side effects from the Zoloft, so I would recommend you let your doctor know as soon as you can. In the meantime, you could stop taking the Zoloft until you speak with your doctor since the half-life of the medication is very long it will stay in your system for a long time.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
