The addition of the nutritional supplement called sarcosine to antipsychotic therapy for six months increased markers of neurons viability (NAA) and neurogilal activity (mI) with simultaneous improvement of clinical symptoms. Sarcosine, two grams administered daily, seems to be an effective adjuvant (add-on) in the pharmacotherapy of schizophrenia.

Sarcosine Therapy - A New Complementary Direction for Schizophrenia Treatment?
There are a number of studies where they’ve used sarcosine and medications like Risperdal that show there are benefits to adding the sarcosine. I have not seen any tests yet for Latuda plus sarcosine - perhaps ask your doctor.
Results: Sarcosine added to Risperidone significantly reduced symptom severity in many different arenas compared to placebo. D-Serine was not effective in this study. No significant side effects were seen.

“Sarcosine treatment was better than d-serine in effect sizes for all outcome measures. Sarcosine also surpassed placebo in most of the measures [of negative symptoms measures) of five PANSS factors and five SANS subscales”
I think the focus of the study was on “negative symptoms” of schizophrenia - not memory specifically, but general area of “cognitive functioning” is covered under the classification of negative symptoms (people typically have difficulty concentrating, reading books, and memory difficulties in schizophrenia.
