Can I eat grapefruit while taking Celexa?!

You don't want to take anything on this site as a correct answer to such a serious question. You should call the pharmacist who fills your prescriptions as he is the expert on all medications.

You need to get in touch with your doctor. Some foods are not consumable. Grapefruit is one of the ones which causes an adverse effect with the drugs one may be taking.

If you are unable to get in touch with your doctor, get in touch with a pharmacist. They are trained in this type of question which may come to be.

This venue is not the place in which to ask a question as complicated.

Hi Jenny!

For the most accurate information, please call your pharmacist where you received the medication or call Poison Control at: 1-800-222-1222. Both have access to this information.

Grapefruit affects the antipsychotics more than the antidepressants, it decreases the metabolism and increases the half life of the drug. It is best to avoid grapefruit as you can drink other fruit juices.

Has any doctor prescribed Celexa ?

If not please stop taking that.

Instead start taking grapes which have medicinal values.

I'm not to sure, I would definitely check with your pharmacist!
