A few years ago I was prescribed Trazodone for insomnia. It didn't help. I did however develop an extreme intolerance to alchohol. I don't just mean it exaggerated the effects of alcohol. I had almost an allergic reaction to even very small amounts. I became flushed red like a cooked lobster. The intolerance disappeared a few months after I stopped the Traz. I can find no reports of this side effect and I just wondered out of interest whether anyone here has experienced this.

    That's interesting and sounds like a direct link. I haven't experienced that side effect, but physiologically we are all different. How is your insomnia?

      The insomnia cleared up when I finally stopped caring about it and stopped trying to get rid of it. I don't know what started it and it plagued me for more than six months. I still occasionally get a bad night or two but now I just adopt the attitude of "I don't ****** care!"
