when i was put on risperdal in virginia, the doctor told me not to drink grapefruit juice. she said it interacts with the meds or makes them ineffective. weird. i love grapefruit juice but have been avoiding it ever since.

It interacts with abilify too. So I can’t drink it.

Yes. Many medications interact with grapefruit juice. It changes the way medication is absorbed into your blood, and can cause you to die of an overdose.

I was warned against it too.
But I’m allergic to grapefruit anyways, so I don’t really see it as a loss.

This should really be printed on the medicine sheet that you get with the antipsychotics. It’s not on mine.
