Weight gain is a possibilty from the class of drugs to which this belongs to. This can affect 1 in 10 people. It may also cause orthostatic hypotension and syncope so it is something which you should be aware of particularly as your dose has been increased. So I assume that regular and appropriate clinical monitoring will be undertaken. Also, grapefruit juice should be avoided whilst on this drug as it can increase the blood levels of Latuda.
Naturally I assume you have been supplied with a patient information leaflet detailing side effects and cautions associated with this drug. If not, then I can upload one here.

I took Latuda for a few months. I found the med extremely helpful. It pulled me out of a funk I had been in for months. In fact this is the first med I clearly noticed improvement on, and that was after years and years of trying a ton of different meds. I was shocked.
However and unfortunately I developed tarniv dyskanesia (TD) from it so had to stop taking it. The TD resolved within a couple months after I stopped it. I was saddened that I had to stop it after finally finding one that helped.
