MEDICATION WASH-OUT - Depression Message Board

Does anyone know how long it would take for zoloft and geodon to completely wash out of your system? I was only on them for about 3 weeks. I've also been taking risperdal but just decided to stop taking everything last Saturday.

The medicine in my system could definitely be the cause of the anisocoria (right pupil bigger than the other, yes?

Hmmmm...don't know about the pupil. I'm going through a Zoloft withdrawl right now, and from I've been told, the meds stay in your system for approx one mth after (now, my doc told me this, so don't quote me)

But if you were only on Zoloft for 3 weeks, then it really didn't have much of a chance to get into your system to begin with...

All the best,

I disagree. It is certainly a short time for it to start being effective as an antidepressant, but soon enough to have side effects.

It was well over two months after I quit Zoloft that I stopped having the major side effects.
