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 uHealth Question & Answer
i would recommend checking with your doctor as some medication is taken in the morning as it can affect sleep..

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..Health Question & Answer
