Yes: You have to be very careful with a number of medications if you drink grapefruit juice or eat grapefruit. Grapefruit contains a compound that prevents the breakdown of medications like xanax (alprazolam) by the liver. This can lead to higher levels from the same dose and can lead to excessive sedation. Check with your doctor, and be cautious.
