Fluoxetine/Olanzapine could be taken any time of the day, generally it is recommended to take the medication at the same time each day to maintain even levels of the drug in your blood.

However, please do also ask the doc/pharmacist who prescribed the med., take care.

Best wishes!

Thank you.
My doc said mornings but after reading about peoples experiences with drowsiness I am wondering whether it would make more sense to try it at night.

Most welcome, if it makes you feel drowsy then you should take the med at night, take care.
