If you must eat it, however, then at least wait a few hours after taking Lexapro to have some.

You should avoid eating grapefruit while taking Tegretol (carbamazepine) because grapefruit can inhibit certain liver enzymes, specifically CYP3A4, that are responsible for metabolizing the drug. This can lead to increased levels of Tegretol in the bloodstream, potentially resulting in heightened side effects or toxicity. It's important to maintain stable drug levels for effective treatment, so consulting with a healthcare provider about dietary restrictions is essential.
