Is atomoxetine better taken at night or in the morning?

You are advised to take atomoxetine according to your doctor's advise. If you are meant to be taking atomoxetine once a day, take it in the morning. If your dose of atomoxetine is meant to be taken twice a day, take the first dose in the morning and the second dose late afternoon or early evening. This is because taking it too late in the day may cause difficulty sleeping at night and this may make you feel drowsy the following day.
