I'm new here.....and I am trying to get off of a norco habit. Someone told me to drink grapefruit juice? That it helps the w/d's? Is that true?

Actually Grapefruit juice can interfere with many meds -- especially blood pressure and heart drugs ---  Many use clonidine to help with W/D's and that may also not be good with Grapefruit products.  Perhaps someone else has more information on it.  Best to you as you try to kick the Norco  ------ I would definitely recommend the Thomas Recipe and the other things listed in the health pages.   Keep up the good work.

I heard that if you drink grapefruit juice or eat them that they will increase your high.  Also today i read something about grapefruit juice being deadly if taken with certain perscriptions...I saw that on comcastcabledotcom Make sure you google it before you take with whatever you are on.  Good Luck!
