Some antidepressants have a sedative effect, should only be taken at
night/before bed; trazadone is one of these.

Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] Medication and shift work
I am currently knee deep in Nightworkers Health Assessments and wonder if
anyone has any useful research/advice for those taking regular medication
(that they have been told should be taken either in the morning or at night)
when they are working a shift pattern of earlies, lates and nights.
Some of my clients forget when they are on certain shifts and some are
leaving a 36hr gap with their meds when they change from days to nights
I am sure it is to some extent dependant on the specific medication or
medical condition but if anybody has tackled this before and has some useful
resources I would be really grateful
