Leaving Zoloft Land

I just found this website and am looking forward to reading about others who share this experience w/ me. I seem to be experiencing only hot flashes as a side-effect so far.  But that could be a result of skipping some of my hormone replacement pills. I read recently that tinnitus is a side-effect of taking Zoloft.  I've got that problem and am hoping it will go away when the medicine's out of my system.  I just want so much to have joy again in life.  My thinking is that getting off Zoloft might be painful but not life-threatening and I don't have to go to work.
