Can Sertraline or its metabolite be detectable in a blood test after 40 days?
I took my last dose of Sertraline 40 days ago, it was 250 mg.
If I take a blood test tomorrow, will any trace of it, or its metabolite desmethylsertraline, be visible in it?
Or would they both be expected to be gone by now?

Hello, This medication may be detected in your system for 9 to 90 days.
Desmethylsertraline, the active metabolite of sertraline, has a half-life of 56–120 hours and reaches peak plasma concentrations 8–10 hours following administration
However, I have read that This medication is not typically targeted on drug tests.
It can, however, produce false-positive test results for illicit substances. It can be found in certain types of drug detection tests for 9 to 90 days after ingestion.
