I did not know that I have to eat 500 calories

(I thought it was 350)with geodon. after all of these years I never read the literature.
foolish me.
I have been taking it right after a big lunch then again at bed time no food think I would get at least half the dose. wrong! I would get none of the benefits.

No wonder I got manic!
I am surprised that I did not get manic sooner.

That was one of the reasons I stopped Geodon.

Ive never heard of that. I do know you need to have a small snack like a cracker because the digestions helps it work. Where did you hear about 500 calories?

My doctor said at least 350 as he knew I’d never eat 500 calories but without food it’s virtually useless

When I was on Geodon I was told 350 calories. Either way, having to eat that much just to take the med kinds sucks.

I have to eat something with Latuda, too...I don't recall specific calories, though.
