Up to 2 weeks: Hopefully the small amount of food was enough to get most of it absorbed. Just continue as prescribed w/ 350+ calorie meals. Let your provider know effects at 1 week, then wait - It can take 2 wks. Relax - be patient - it's probably going to be better soon. It's good that you care, but don't worry. Perhaps the dose will be raised if you call. Best wishes!

Best to take Latuda: with a full meal - but the amount you ate with those two pills doesn't mean you got no benefit.
