I'm not sure exactly what details you want, but there are no side effects; you are left with approximately the same memories as someone who walked through a box that does not torture people. The point of including the memory erasure in the thought experiment was to prevent any harm from occurring after you left the box.

I feel like you knew this and are asking about something else, but I am not sure what. Maybe something identity-related?
