How many take Latuda twice a day?

I know that Latuda is a big deal, it seems, because it's a once a day medication. My pdoc said, when I called, that until we see each other, to half the pill and take 20 mg in the morning and 20 mg at night. It's possible I don't need an increase because at night I'm fine, after taking it, and until the afternoon I'm fine, so it just seems like it's "wearing off." It may not be, but it seems like it. I don't know as much about half life as I thought; will it have an adverse effect to go from 40 mg at night to taking it twice daily? I forgot to ask about it. And just personally, for those who do it, does it seem to work well, make you really tired, work less, etc?

I take Latuda once a day. I had sedation at first, but it seems to have helped me with being less sleepy during the day and with motivation. It seems to work really well for me.

Edit: 40 mg at night. Also, my pdoc suggested that I could split the dosage and take 20 mg twice a day, but 40 mg at night works fine for me and I'm less likely to forget a dose.

Thank you I did it today and it was actually nice; I was a little tired but not too much, and it was that thing where I didn't FEEL it working but felt more normal, and better, like that nice subtle thing. I will see how it works out long term though.
