The following Geodon dose range are considered effective for schizophrenia (from clinial studies):
A) For acute psychotic relapse: 120-160 mg/day in two divided doses.
B) For maintenance treatment (in remission): 40-80 mg/day in two divided treatment.
Ziprasidone has not been studied specifically in the treatment of depression. IMHO, like the other atypical antipsychotics (e.g., Risperdal, Zyprexa), probably lower than the dose range for schizophrenia.
