Wait until tmw (Mon): In meantime, stay out of sun. 50mg of Zoloft (sertraline) is on the low side of dose range, so you could probably just stop but w/o listing more side effects (http://www.drugs.com/sfx/sertraline-side-effects.html) aside from rash from sun, I would recommend against it. Instead, call office tomorrow (Mon) and tell doc what's going on. S/he may want him to try lower dose or different medication
