Throw it out.
Keeping a stable level of Luvox flowing through the brain is more important than a few grapefruit. There are several substances in grapefruit that prevent the body from breaking down Luvox, thereby allowing its levels to rise significantly.

Sorry about the new packaged grapefruits...
Good luck with Luvox.
