No: Grapefruit and grapefruit juice may decrease your body's processing of sertraline and hydrocodone. This means their levels could build up in your body and intensify side effects. Do not combine these medications with grapefruit. Other citrus fruits appear to be safe, though. http://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=14760.
