I think it is best to coordinate questions like this with your regular doctor. In general these medicines are long lasting in their effects and in general there is not a time effect from them. If it were, it would be the peak drug effect 1 to 3 hrs after taking them so, earlier in the evening would overcome the sleep effect.
