No, the syngergistic effect is exclusive to grapefruit juice. Grapefruit juice is broken down by the same enzyme in the stomach as benzodiazepines, so more of the drug enters your bloodstream if your stomach is "busy" breaking down the grapefruit juice.
I'm assuming you meant amoxicillin. Grapefruit juice contains a flavenoid that inhibits an important enzyme responsible for metabolizing drugs and toxins in your body, which is why grapefruit juice should be checked for interactions with medications. Amoxicillin is removed by a different enzyme than the one grapefruit interacts with, so you should be fine. But you should always check with your pharmacist for any and all suspected interactions.
