So I tried drinking orange juice again, even though I knew I shouldn’t because last time I got really foggyheaded, couldn’t focus my vision good, and just hard to think straight. This made the workday rough today.
The juice interacts with Zyprexa is what’s happening. Too bad, because I really like orange, but it’s not worth it at all to drink it.
No, but I know grapefruit is listed as having major interaction with zyprexa and other AP’s. I assume it’s because orange also is a citrusfruit, and I get a similar interaction, although probably a lot less severe than grapefruit.
I agree about the blood sugar hypothesis. Grapefruit contains a chemical called quercetin that interacts with many meds but orange juice does not have it. I know that when my blood sugar is high it affects my vision, and OJ raised sugar very easily.
