GBG - There are no dumb questions regarding medications. Technically, an 'empty stomach' is one hour before or two hours after a meal. In the case of Geodon, it works better if you have eaten a meal. This is probably due to better absorption of the drug on a full stomach. Therefore Geodon™ (ziprasidone) should probably be taken with a main meal.
If it were just a case of stomach upset, as with the older anti-inflammatories, a couple of crackers or half of a glass of milk would be fine. In this case, if you want the 'most bang for your buck', you should probably take Geodon with a meal.
