Answer 1

Zoloft is out of your system in 24 to 48 hours, but withdrawal symptoms can last four to six weeks.  Being on another medication should shorten that time period greatly.  Talk to your doctor or pharmacists for specifics on what to expect.

Answer 2

I have never tried either zoloft or cymbalta.  

Answer 3

Normally when switching from any psychotrophic medicine to another, there is a very short period of minor side effects.  The Cymbalta should begin to kick in before the effects of the Zoloft are completely stopped.  Good luck, I really hope this helps with your anxiety.  I have been there.
