I also looked up the consumer medicine leaflet (Australia) & I don't believe it mentions it in there
Edit: could the food intake requirement be why it makes me so tired when I take it in the morning? I usually have a midnight snack & then nothing to eat until afternoon
I don't think the food requirement would make you tired in the morning from the Latuda.

It is very important that you take Latuda with at least 350 calories. Not doing so cuts the effectiveness of Latuda by about half. I'm really surprised that your doctors didn't mention that
Thanks for this!
