I just made this and I had to write it down while I could remember what I put in it. I had hubby try it and he agreed it was quite tasty.
1/2 dozen Strawberries (hull removed)
1/2 Grapfruit
1 orange
1 handful spinach
Chunk of Ginger
4 large Carrots
Now he’s hassling me and trying to say it’s a $4 glass of juice – which of course it doesn’t even come close! (Maybe half that).
As you can see I try to get a little green in most of my juices (not all, but most). Although, I’m running a little low today as I ran out of Kale yesterday and haven’t managed to find any today, so all I have left is Spinach and Romaine (haven’t tried the latter in a juice yet, guessing it might not add much).

It could be possible, I guess. Meds react differently in different people. Just wanted to give you a heads up, just in case. I read it on the paper that comes from the pharmacy with your prescription (yeah I read them every once in a while). Anyway, hope your diet is going well for you!

Read the article. It doesn’t appear to be a major issue. Between the fact that I decreased my neurontin and that my neurologists has actually suggested I could up it to help migraines, it makes me wonder if the grapefruit didn’t actually work in my favor.

Here is a link I found describing why, along with some other things to avoid (I noticed in one entry you were talking about alcohol)
Good luck with the new diet, I am considering something similar. http://www.livestrong.com/article/51072-foods-avoid-taking-neurontin/

I haven’t read ghat about grapefruit and neurontin. Ive looked for it as I know there are some drugs that cant be combined with grapefruit. I will have to dig some more. All I know at this point is ive felt a lot better between the juicing and removing gluten and dairy.
Cindy says
I’m all for eating healthier, but you still have to watch what you add in there. Grapefruit is not supposed to be eaten while you are on neurontin. Not sure if you knew that or not.
