Unexpected reactions to drug (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

narcotise

'drug' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'unexpected reactions' is the wordplay.
'unexpected' indicates an anagram.
'reactions' anagrammed gives 'NARCOTISE'.

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for narcotise that I've seen before include "Numb" , "put under influence of drugs" , "administer drug" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
