stopped zoloft

I hope someone can answer this question.  I have been taking 50mg zoloft once a day for 16 days only. I stopped cold turkey.  It's been 6 days without taking any and have no withdrawal symptoms at all.. Does anyone know if the zoloft is all out of my system by now.

Thank you in advance.

Since some of these meds are fat soluble, some will be stored in your liver for much longer, but you won't necessarily feel it.  If you want to get rid of all of it you'd need to do a liver cleanse.  Since you're not having any withdrawal, which is a pure gift from heaven since you quit abruptly, if you never get any withdrawal symptoms, I'd just forget about it, since that's the important thing.

Sorry............sometimes some of us take too much for granted.
You were taking 50mg of Zoloft. The half life is 1-4 days. In 1-4 days, half, (25mg) of the Zoloft will have left your body. 1-4 days later, the remaining 25mg will be gone. Since the time span of the half life is 1-4 days, it is entirely possible it is all out of your system already. If it took the maximum amount of time, you would be clear in 8 days.

Thank you for your comment, but I still don't understand.  Does that mean it's out of my system since I've been off it for 6 days. I'm not too savvy on about any meds.
Thanks again
