I have to take Latuda three times a day. I know you're supposed to eat with it. My IP dr told me I could just eat a piece of fruit with it but online info says it needs to be 350 calories!
What are some snack ideas for my nighttime dose? |

I always have a "backup" snack in case I can't figure out what I want to eat. That might be a good idea for you too.
Probably not the healthiest "snack", but 6 oreos gets you to 350 calories (yes, only 6 lol). That's my backup. Otherwise, I sometimes break up my dinner. For example, instead of eating a whole dinner, I'll save a portion of it for my "snack" in the evening. Half a turkey sandwich is about 350 cals. |

It is a pain to eat enough (350calories) with Latuda. However, in a few weeks it will be the only med I take, so I can manage. Good luck. I just try to take it with dinner. It's easier than finding a big enough snack before bed.

Three times a day? Never heard of that with Latuda.

That's how the ip pdoc did it. He started me on 20 in the am and pm. The he switched it to 20 in am, 20 at noon and added 40 at night.

That's odd. Maybe it's a new way to take it?

I will not assume you are of any weight, so if you need to put on a little, I guess you just need a caloric snack at night, but if you don't intend to gain, it probably would be better to save from dinner and eat later on.

I always found that just some yogurt was just fine. Or a Luna bar. Not 350 calories, but the med was still perfectly effective for me.

I get not wanting to gain but the absorption according to latuda website can be compromised without 350 calories.
