It can take several weeks, even though zoloft should be out of your system within 7 days. It is definetly not permanent.

I also had sexual side effects when beginning the Zoloft for the first 5 or 6 weeks. I was doing so well on the medication otherwise that I decided to stick it out. I am now at 7-8 weeks on Zoloft and the sexual side effects have greatly diminished. If the medication works for you, give it another try. It also might depend on what dosage you are on.
