> Correct me if I'm wrong here but what I do, since I take my first dose of Geodon in the a.m. before breakfast is that I take it with about 5 psyllium caps at the same time. Psyllium is a fiber more bulking than bran and I believe that constitutes "food," doesn't it?. Then, AFTER my coffee, I eat a small breakfast. Good enough - or am I fooling myself?I realize that this post is from last August, but I was doing a search and came across it. You should NOT take ANY meds 2 hours before OR 2 hours after taking bulk fiber. It interferes with the absorption of the medicine or even vitamins. That is what it says on my jar of Metamucil.
