A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes but . . .: Your question was previously addressed here: https://www.healthtap.com/#user_questions/1487916-can-i-have-grapefruit-with-effexor. While grapefruit is known to affect liver's breakdown of many drugs, I found no mention of interaction at http://www.drugs.com/food-interactions/venlafaxine.html. Drug-drug & drug-food question are best answered by your prescribing physician & dispensing pharmacist.
