I suppose telling you to drink heavily would be irresponsible?
Can you visit a local pharmacy and explain the situation to the pharmacist? If it's a national chain where you have your 'scrip, they can access your records and probably sell you enough to get you through.
There's really nothing you can substitute, especially if the Zoloft works well for you.

So you're at your dad's? Is he like, out of town or just really far from your house? Maybe Someone can bring you your Zoloft (family member) or, call the pharmacy and see if they can have a closer pharmacy fill a temporary bottle or something... Uh, I don't know.
but yeah, not taking the Zoloft will definitely mess with you. I know the feeling, been there. Now, if I forget to take my Cymbalta, I'm screwed up, can't focus or do things right. Hopefully you can get your pills soon!

Oh my, you should never, never just quit medication like Zoloft 'cold turkey'. You should have spoken with your doctor for a gradual tapering off of the medication. This may very well be why you are experiencing dizziness. Have your dad either bring them to you or mail them to you. Have your mom contact your doctor on Tuesday to try to get you some samples to last until you get your regular Rx bottle from your dad.

Don't panic. I took zoloft for quite a while & quit taking it cold turkey with no problems. Of course my dosage may have been lower than yours. If things get really bad_call 911 or get your Dad to take you to the nearest hospital & the Doctor on call will give you enough of the drug to cover until you get home.

Have a local pharmacy call your doctor. You should never, ever stop Zoloft cold. There is nothing you can do to ward off the withdrawal symptoms.

your body is withdrawing from it. You will develop flu-like symptoms if you go off of antidepressants without weening yourself off of them by a doctor. You are going to feel that way until you go back on it again. I would give your doctor a call to see how much to take when you go back on it again. Because you went off of it I don't think that you're going to want to take full dose when you start up again.

you need to go to the doctor and let them know i think that Zoloft was on one of them commercials telling you not to take it be very careful
