What time of day?

[Tabatha]

I have just been prescribed Venlaflaxine (Escitalopram, Citalopram, Fluoxetine,
CLomiprimine, Risperidone didn't work) and I was
Wondering what time of day to take it? I should be going back to work soon and I dont want to be drouzy. I work on a hospital ward and sometimes
start work at 7am

Some places say the morning, other places say
the evening. I'm confused xxx

Hi i don,t suffer so many side effects from the Citalopram i take, but just in case, i take it in the evening between 8 and 9 so i am taking it on top of food which i think is important and if i am working late i get home before it takes effect and i am sleeping for the drowsey part if you see what i mean. Medically they say there is no difference in the time you take it. hope this is helpful
