Should be ok: I would not imagine that returning to a dose of zoloft (sertraline) 25mg after being off for 4 days to be a problem. It is a low dose and it should not be a problem to return. If major concerns or difficulties, may always start at 12.5mg x 1-2 weeks, then 25 but this is a very conservative approach that is not likely needed.

Abrupt stop not good: Zoloft (sertraline) is one of the drugs that require a slow taper when you want to stop taking it. (decrease dosage a little at a time over days or weeks, depending on dose). You may have experienced some side effects from stopping it suddenly. 25 mg. is a low dose, so perhaps it was not serious. If you desire to continue the drug, just resume your usual dosing schedule. Check with your doctor to be sure!
