Different medications get metabolized at different rates. If you were taking one that peaks after ~8 hours (like extended-release venlafaxine), evening timing might work better.
The first antidepressant I tried gave me nausea for much of the day when I took it in the morning. Taking it at night helped a lot because I slept through the part where I felt sick. This is how I learned “complain to your prescriber if you’re having side effects” because sometimes they have simple ideas that help.
Worth a try! Different meds are activating (make you more alert / awake) vs sedating, so it’s also worth noticing if an evening dose makes it harder to sleep.

Thanks! I have this nausea problem, so I’m going to try taking mine at night :) (checked and it seems fine/safe)
