or your local CVS and ask if there’s a way to tell them apart. From the pics on the internet net, if they are both round white pills, the Ativan has a cut line but the Latuda doesn’t.
“ Bottom Line. Do not cut your Latuda tablet in half. The manufacturer of Latuda provides five different strengths of the medication if your doctor needs to adjust your dose. The tablets are not scored, making splitting difficult.Jul 21, 2020”
If that’s the case it would be easy for your local pharmacist to sort t out for you.
