lmn it is usually ok to switch a med from night to morning just ask the doc first.

I take my wellbutrin in the am because it gives me more energy during the day to stay out of bed. if i take it at night it seriously prevents me from sleeping.

BUT it is very important to understand that the same med can have opposite effects on different people, so you have to try it and see and stay in touch with your doctor.

As an extreme example, some time ago i was taking zoloft. I would take it in the morning but it made me nauseaus and sleepy. so my doc switched me to taking it at night, where it actually helped me sleep better and was beneficial.

recently my new doc added zoloft back into the mix along with the wellbutrin. i asked it if was ok to take it at night because if made me sleepy, he said ok. After a few days it was clear that now it was having the exact opposite effect on me, it was keeping me awake and restless. Either something changed in my body chemistry over that time or more likely it just had a different effect in combination with the wellbutrin. in any case i had to switch it to morning.

Also of note is that over-the-counter sleeping meds make me restless and unable to sleep. i gave up on them long ago, because they do make me incredibly sleepy, like they are supposed to, but also keep me from falling asleep. a very unpleasant experience.

So just stay in touch with your doc and keep him posted on your personal experience with each med and with each change. he really has only your input to go on when considering changes.
