The average terminal elimination half-life of plasma sertraline is about 26 hours; its metabolite N-desmethylsertraline has a plasma terminal elimination half-life of 62 to 104 hours--thus it is impossible for Zoloft to remain in your body for two weeks after discontinuing the drug. I would suggest switching to Celexa or Wellbutrin, drugs with less weight gain as a side-effect.
