Should antidepressants be taken in the morning or in the evening?

The classes of antidepressants vary and, depending on their active ingredients, can affect sufferers' daily lives. The time you choose to take them ultimately depends on the type of drug you are taking and how your body and mind react to it.

As a general rule, antidepressants without sedative agents should be taken in the morning, while sedatives are best taken in the evening. But it all also depends on how your drug affects you personally, depending on the side effects.

Additionally, diet, lifestyle, and underlying medical conditions may also account for some of the reasons why antidepressants affect each person differently.

 Non-sedating antidepressants are specifically made to be taken in the morning because they have energizing properties, notes Dr. Timothy Jeider, a board certified psychiatrist.

Some antidepressants are diuretics, so you won't have to rush to the bathroom at night if you plan to take them in the morning.

Trazadone and mirtazapine are two common antidepressants that can cause drowsiness. If drowsiness is a common side effect of your antidepressant, it's best to take it at night so you can use it to your advantage and fall asleep more easily./ CNA
