In reply to ritalin and citric acid interactions, posted by Steffany on March 31, 2001, at 17:25:46
> Hi--
It's not citric acid per se but only the bioflavonids [sp?] in grapefruit.
I found this at Dr.Koop.com, the med checker that also does food interactions.
I was looking for adderall interactions and found that the grapefruit is a no-no
for ritalin, adderall, and dexedrine -- this last I'm not 100% positive. First 2
for certain.
FWIW, I find that orange juice decreases the adderall's potency.
If you take it with water unless you have a super slow tummy, you should be able
to eat or drink anything in about 45 minutes.
Good luck.
