Dear Bizi,
Geodon needs fat to be absorbed according to this site:

BTW, crackers won't do it. The graph above is with 800 calories, 400 calories of fat. That's a meal, not juice.

This site says you need 500 calories when you take Geodon.

. . . patients should be advised to take ziprasidone with a meal containing at least 500 calories (without regard to fat content) to ensure adequate ziprasidone bioavailability and thus achieve optimal efficacy. These four studies illustrate the sequential and incremental nature of drug development research and what is meant by the concept of bioequivalence.

You can also check with your pharmacist.

PS
Whoops I just saw that I typed the header wrong.
I would ask the pharmacist to look it up for you.
