What benzos or other drugs does grapefruit juice potentiate?

[Anon54]

I think i read somewhere that GFJ increases levels of valium to 1.5 during the peak & makes it last longer which is pretty good but it takes longer to peak.

Im assuming potentiation still works if it is sublingual use??

I also think i read somewhere that it doesnt work with temazepam which is another benzo I use quite alot so this is an important question.
Does GFJ work with temazepam??

I dont take xanax any more but may get some prescribed in the future.
Does it work with xanax??

Basically which benzos does it potentiate??

I also understand that white GFJ is the best & i did a search on the net for white GFG & it's actually a light yellow/orange kind of colour. I think u could call it beige for anyone interested.

Im also pretty sure the site I read from said to take it half an hr before taking ya DOC. Usually when i pick up my benzos i wanna take em ASAP if u know what i mean
So what do think the minimal time Id have to wait after drinking the GFJ before I dosed the Valium could be??

I've also read there's alot of controversy over weather it potentiates codeine.
Does anyone have any good sources about codeine potentiation using GFJ??

what about other opiates & other drugs in general??

thanks for any responses in advance

anything metabolized through 3A4 will be potentiated by white GFJ (i.e. xanax, temazepam, oxycodone, codeine, ect..). drink your GFJ and wait 30-45 minutes, then dose your benzo or opiate. yes, GFJ will still potentiate your dose even if you used it sublingually

I just found this info but its not related to GFJ

Milk Thistle
Milk thistle may interfere with many medications and increase them to dangerous levels because the same liver enzymes break down the herb. Milk thistle should not be combined with allergy medications, drugs for high cholesterol, anti-anxiety agents (alprazolam, diazepam, lorazepam, clonazepam, Temazepam), antiplatelet and anticoagulant drugs (blood thinners), anti-seizure medications, anti-psychotics, antidepressants, hormones and others

milk thistle is a really strong antioxidant & it's a supplement I use cuz it helps repair the liver from apap, alcohol etc. so it's good to know it's also making my benzos stronger

not good to know it's making my antipsychotic zyprexa stronger

In my teen years i suffered with quite bad Acne which was un-responsive to most other treatments,various creams/lotions, soaps, various tetracyclic anti-biotics tetracycline, vibramycin (Doxycycline) etc and none did the trick.

So they put me on a 4 month course of roaccutane (Accutane) or Isotretinoin as it is also known, this medicine was to change my life for the better (psychically) and for the worse (psychologically)

Anyway the moral of the story is the label on the packet of pills said not to be taken with Grapefruit juice which is something which always puzzled me..... Until i discovered Bluelight if only just over 14 years too late.

It's supposed to potentiate methadone as well. I find white grapefruit juice works better than pink or red.

Best methadone (and alprazolam) potentiator I've ever used was clarithromycin.
