I recently got my prescription switched from Zoloft to Wellbutrin, and I'm wondering if this means I'll be able to drink grapefruit Perrier again. I love the taste of grapefruit, but I know you can't eat or drink it when you're on Zoloft, and there were a few times where I forgot and drank things with grapefruit in them and ended up feeling funny. Oops. :oops:

Like any of these questions, a physician is the person you should forward such an inquiry, not an internet forum.

No grapefruit with any antidepressant meds.

That's what I figured. Is there anything I can take to block the enzyme in grapefruit that causes these interactions? I miss my Fresca and grapefruit Perrier.

I read that you should consume the same amount of grapefruit each time & at the same time every day & take your psych meds at the same time every day so they will be absorbed in the body the same way every day.

Drugs.com interaction checker says there is no interaction between Wellbutrin and grapefruit juice, but there is an interaction between Wellbutrin and nicotine as well as Wellbutrin and alcohol.
