Do you have to eat something right after you take geodon? Or can you eat like an hour before and be fine? I ate some Taco Bell at 5 and I took my geodon at 6. It’s now 6:35 and I feel anxious. Is that because I need to eat something AFTER I take the geodon? I usually eat dinner around this time. Just tonight I ate early. So I’m not particularly hungry but I probably will eat something so my geodon will work. I’m just really confused.

And is it 350 calories? I know you have to eat a certain amount. Why do you need to eat something anyways with geodon?

I was told to eat with Gordon. If you don't then you're not getting the full effects of the medication. So any hour is too long to wait. My pdoc told me to take it with the equivalent of 3 Oreos. Since it makes me so sleepy about an hour after taking it, I usually take it about an hour before bed with a protein bar.

I was also told to eat with Geodon when I was on it. Minimum 350 calories. I can't exactly recall why...something about the calories helping to metabolize the medication.
