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

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

That is so weird. Here is the study: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10890261/
It was only n=5 but my layperson understanding is that the results were significant.
Either I’ve never noticed a grapefruit warning (and at one time I read the documentation fully) or Sertraline doesn’t come with one…
