    Doesn't it interact with... I can't remember if it was ecstasy or some normal medicine

    Only thing that came to mind was diabetics can't usually have grapefruit. Is the joke that redbull enjoyers are diabetic? 🤔

    No grapefruit while taking ssri medication

    edit: sorry, this is a bit misleading and an oversimplification

    Wait... 

    I don't think that's true. If it were, they'd put it in the instructions that come with the SSRI medicines.

    And it is not on the list of drugs on this web page. https://www.fda.gov/consumers/consumer-updates/grapefruit-juice-and-some-drugs-dont-mix

    Yup, I made a bad generalization. My bad, and to be clear I'm not a doctor or anything.

    Some SSRIs may have an interaction with grapefruit. But grapefruit interacts with different medications differently, and it's not based on the class of medication, it's med specific.

    e.g. Sertraline (Zoloft) is an SSRI and is listed as having an interaction with grapefruit

    Eta: thanks for calling that out, I've learned some interesting things, for example;

    Ketamine: After drinking 200 mL of grapefruit juice daily for five days, the overall absorption of orally ingested ketamine was increased three-fold compared to the control group in a clinical trial. The peak blood ketamine concentration was increased over two-fold.

    I would be shocked if grapefruit flavored red bull contains any part of grapefruit the fruit.
