If consumed in large enough quantities (some have said over a quart daily), grapefruit juice contains some compounds which compete for the same enzyme pathways of metabolism in the liver as do cholesterol and many other meds. Many dietitians have therefore removed grapefruit juice from hospitals .

What meds does grapefruit interact with?
Dextrometorphan should not be taken with Grapefruit as you will probably get hallucinations. Edit: If you are taking normal doses of dextrometorphan and you do not have a rare sensitivity to it (because of an enzyme in your liver, or lack thereof), then grapefruit will have no effect whatsoever. As a matter of fact the relation between eating grapefruit and the effectiveness of dextrometorphan has not been successfully demonstrated. The problem with grapefruit-drug interactions is that sulfur-compounds in grapefruit juice may affect the way many meds are metabolized in the liver. This involves many antihypertensive and cholesterol-lowering agents and should probably be avoided.

Can you take pre- natel pills while on bipolar and anxiety meds?
I would think so. I did (while on bipolar and anxiety meds) with no side effects. Prenatal pills are vitamins and shouldn't have any effect on your other meds. However, I would consult your doctor or pharmicist to make sure. They can also tell you at what times (taking) your meds will be most effective for you.
