Top your list with lotions, shampoos, and makeup with alcohol in them. I forgot once and sprayed perfume on my wrist around Xmas time and spent the next 12 hours unable to move without losing my lunch and my head was in agony. I suppose it served it's purpose back then in my weaker years. The generic name is Disulfrum, or similar. i was only on 100mg. 62.50mg is still high enough to avoid perfumes and wine sauces. You can still end up with a killer headache.

> I got 250mg tablets to take once a day. i quartered them all and I take that per day so as to make them last four months (it's expensive) and I don't want any side effects. At that dose, do you know if I have to stay away from red wine sauces, perfumes with alcohol, etc.? The pharmacists didn't have a clue.
