hey there ! I admit I don't know much about your religion but I respect it never the less!. U should really talk to your Dr!. 1st and ask him/her whether or not there is a specific reason why u Have to take the med at that time if there isn't then go ahead and take it at the time u wish!.If u don't want to do that then does the Paxil give u energy after u take it or does it wake u up a little!? does it give u anxiety after u take it!? if so then u will have a hard time sleeping at this hour hun!.but honestly after talking to my pharmacist she said there is no medical reason why u can't take it at 2 a!.m!. I have taken SSRI's at different times of the day because of side affects I would get !. good luck to you!! and I hoped this helped uWww@Answer-Health@Com
i would recommend checking with your doctor as some medication is taken in the morning as it can affect sleep!.
i used to take citalopram which is supposed to be taken in the morning!. i took it at night once and i couldn't sleep at all that night as my brain wouldnt shut down!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I am no doctor but it takes a few weeks for it to build up in your system so a change of 6 or 12hrs of dosing either way shouldn't matter!. You shouldn't stop taking it unless they tell you too!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
