Grapefruit?

No, no kidney issues. I know RLS is connected to kidney failure but all clear there.

Then you don't need to worry about grapefruit.

Just for anyone reading this post, who is on any of the opioids/ates , then avoid grapefruit, and juice and even Seville oranges, since they are potentiators. This means they increase the power of the opiate to quite a high degree.

People have died in ignorance!😥

Thank you - I didn't realize that. I'll make a note of it.

Apparently some poor girl in NY ,who was on post op fentanyl, died after drinking a glass ( or more?😥) of grapefruit juice!

I was never told this when I was in a similar situation!!🥴

[SueJohnson in reply to Madlegs1]

That's awful.

That might explain why I haven’t been able to buy a grapefruit juice in a UK pub for the past year or so. It used to be my soft drink of choice…

Don't want all the crackheads to pass away?🥴
