There are many different anti-depressant medications. These SSRIs (Selective Seratonin Reuptake Inhibitors) work to increase the levels of seratonin in the brain. Common ones are Prozac, Luvox, Zoloft, Paxil, Lexapro, Celexa.

Most people do take the SSRI drugs in the morning. Paxil, Prozac, and Zoloft often have the side effect of making you more alert and wide-awake. People often have trouble sleeping if they take these drugs right before bed. However, it really does not matter, and if you have no troublesome side effects, you can take your Paxil whenever you wish.
Antidepressants Wellbutrin, Zoloft, Prozac, Paxil, Lexapro, and Effexor to a lesser degree. I've seen much advertising about Cymbalta, but I don't know how frequently it's actually prescribed. These at least are the most common ones i hear about being administered.

Probably none. It would be best to discuss the possibility of a different medication with your doctor to avoid this problem, (ex, Zoloft instead of Paxil).
