Side Effects After Stopping Zolofy

I took only 1 weeks worth of Zoloft before my pyschiatrist and I agreed it didn't agree with me.  While on it, I suffered from extreme sweating and insomnia.

I have been off of it now for 4 days, and I still am experiencing sweating, insomnia, as well as jittery-ness and restless legs.

Can these symptoms be a by-product of withdrawal and still have trace amounts of the Zoloft in my system?

Can I expect these to go away in another day or two?

Assuming you began your treatment with Zoloft at the lowest dose, all or most of it should be out of your system by now. After only one week, there would be no w/d.
I suggest calling your p-doc for advice on the symptoms you are experiencing.  
It's possible that you had an allergic reaction to the medication and that is beyond the scope of this forum. In my humble and totally non-medical opinion, I would guess these symptoms would abate soon, but it would still be best to talk to your doctor.
I wish you the best.
