HI.

Was Zoloft prescribed to you be a Neurologist ? If yes, then you should report to him.
Since you had the symptoms before startig Zoloft, it is unlikely that this is due to the medicine.

I have sorta the same thing, but WITH dizzyness.  I too, suspect something in a drug to be the at the root of my problem.  Currently, I'm checking into "Ototoxicity".
