He has not had a relapse or anything so I suppose should we be worried that he is not taking his meds?

I think the best thing to do is to keep a close eye on him. If you notice anything off encourage him to see his pdoc or take his mess. Olanzapine is a pretty strong drug so the doc must have been concerned though I've never heard of taking meds for just 3 months.
Good luck to him.
I'm sure you must be worried.
