Dear XXXX
Intake of alcohol along with Antidepressants medication like the ones you are taking(Trazadone: Tetracyclic antidepressants and Lexapro: Selective Serotonin reuptake inhibitor) may lead to rebound depression and insomnia that is loss of sleep. These symptoms may persist from couple of days to sometimes a week. If it exceeds then I suggest to check with doctor for liver function test.
I would suggest you the following which will definitely help you get over it
1. Absolute abstinence from alcohol
2. Ensure intake of good quantity of water: 2 to 3 liter a day this helps flush out.
3. To a glass of lukewarm water add juice of half lemon and two spoons of honey . Drink it twice a day
4. Avoid caffein containing beverages.
5. Take day off from your work.
Wishing you a very happy and healthy life.
Take care
