What exactly does grapfruit juice do to medication that makes it a bad thing to take with it? Um, that was a really bad sentence structure type thing. Just ignore it.
Anyway, was taking my medication tonight and I saw there was a new label on the jar that said not to take it with grapefruit juice. Maybe it wasn't a new lable. Maybe that label was there the whole time and I never saw it. I'm not really worried just a bit concerned.
I don't drink grapefruit juice, but I do drink orange juice. Oranges have always seemed like small grapefruits to me, but I guess they aren't. Just like limes aren't lemons even though they look the same except for the colors. Anyway, now I'm all paranoid about the whole orange juice/grapefruit juice thing. And why didn't anyone tell me? And why didn't anyone tell me that I am supposed to wear a med alert bracelet thing while I'm taking the medication? I had to find out reading the little booklet that comes with the pills.
What the hell kind of medication is this? Maybe I should have asked about the medication when it was prescribed. That would have been the smart thing to do but I turn into a blithering idiot as soon as I get into the doctor's office and all I want to do is get out of there as quickly as possible with as few new holes as possible and idealy with most of my bodily orifices unmolested.
