Olanzapin with dinner

2023-12-22 02:19:09
I take olanzapin 7.5 and quetiapine 2.5 for bipolar disorder just after dinner. Is it necessary to take them just after dinner or can I take 1 hour after dinner as well?

Both medicine cause drowsiness. Better to take before sleeping. A single medicine can be sufficient for your condition, but needs a detail psychiatric evaluation.
