Hi,

I'm interested in having found out if the grapefruit juice (as it's impact on the cytochrome P450 or so) influences on the alprazolam half-time and its effect. I've read some texts about it.

I ask because if it's so, then I could take less tablets of this cure to get desired effect; I'd like to save the tablets as it's not very easy to get this cure - doctors prescribe such ones so unwillingly...

I don't know if it depends on the dose and the juice quantity.

So, if any of you have anything to say about this topic, I'd be interested.

Cheers to you!
