Don't quote me on this, but I don't think grapefruit juice will affect ritalin.
Grapefruit juice slows down an enzyme called CYP3A4 which is the one that breaks down xanax. So it would increase xanax. But how much?
The unknown part of the deal is that you don't know how much grapefruit juice to drink or how often. Sounds kind of tricky. I would be afraid to try it myself for fear of overdose, when in reality maybe it would be so tame I wouldn't even notice it. I don't know.
