As some of you know I’m on Geodon twice daily during breakfast and dinner, lately I haven’t wanted to eat during breakfast and dinner but I’ve been force feeding myself, my mom has suggested eating toast (gluten free of course) so I eat a little something on my stomach, so tonight I ate toast… Didn’t want it but I gotta eat
How many calories do you have to take with Geodon. Is toast enough?
@everhopeful it’s 80 calories per slice and I only ate one… Mom said they say to eat something because otherwise it’ll upset your stomach
Google says :
Ziprasidone is usually taken 2 times per day with food (at least 500 calories ). Typically patients begin at a low dose of medicine and the dose is increased slowly over several weeks.
80 calories isn’t enough.
I heard you need to eat at least 500 calories with your Geodon, or something like that. @Ninjastar would know.
@Leaf does it really matter if I can’t stand to shove that many calories down my throat? I feel… Sick when I put food in my mouth during breakfast and dinner… Lunch I’m fine the others are becoming a problem
I don’t think geodon gets into your system unless you take 500 calories. It’s not just a matter of an upset stomach.
I’m sorry this is happening to you. You must be really upset.
Maybe you can find something calorie dense.
Check out these ideas :
Like a bagel with cream cheese is 500 calories.
No, @Twialine, that’s not why they say to eat with Geodon. I take Geodon too and you are supposed to eat with Geodon, at least 450 calories, because Geodon works better if taken with a meal.
@everhopeful @SkinnyMe and @Leaf maybe I can choke down some peanut butter… The thought of eating makes me feel a little sick
Geodon is not going to kill you if you don’t eat with it. The Geodon just won’t work as well.
I’m a little worried about it. Haven’t you been having other troubles with your digestive system?
Do you have an appointment with the dr set up?
@Leaf I already saw the doctor they said they think it’s celiac but couldn’t do the test for it since my Medicaid ran out of tests I can do
Oh no, that’s terrible
