I found this info, along with that for many other meds on a site, and summarized it. (Link at the end)

Drugs such as lurasidone, sertraline, vilazodone, and ziprasidone are better absorbed when taken with food.

It is said that for the most part antidepressants (including Prozac) can be eaten on a full of empty stomach. Vilazodone is an exception, and MAOIs require that you don't eat food with thyramine.

Antipsychotics except ziprasidone (Geodon) and lurasidone (Latuda) can be taken either way, the above better absorbed with food.

For the sake of sleeping better, don't take sedatives such as eszopiclone (Lunesta) zolpidem (Ambien) with a meal.

Mood stabilizers such as lithium and divalproex sodium (Depakote) should be taken on a full stomach (as it may upset the stomach)

From the prescribing information (the booklet that comes with your medicine):

"LATUDA should be taken with food (at least 350 calories). Administration with food
substantially increases the absorption of LATUDA (2.3, 12.3)."

Online it's a PDF at "Full Prescribing Information--Latuda.com

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
