Brief Answer:
can increase the dose.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome here.
I can understand your concerns.

The XXXXXXX recommended dose of latuda is 120mg/day.

If 40mg has worked for you in past but is not working for you, I think you can increase the dose to 60mg.

You can take the increased dose with lithium.

But keep your doctor informed as soon as you get in touch with him.

Hope this helps.
Thanks.
