How do I safely change the time of day that I take my medication?

Right now I am taking effexor in the morning (around 10am) and seroquel at bedtime to help me sleep. My psychiatrist has added wellbutrin and I read that when taking effexor and wellbutrin together to take wellbutrin in the morning and effexor at dinner time (6pm) to avoid them peaking at the same time. Regardless of the wellbutrin, I want to take my effexor later because I find it makes me tired. How do I do this safely (to avoid side effects)? And should I start taking the wellbutrin now or wait until I ve switched the times of my effexor?

    I don't think you're going to experience any significant negative effects from delaying one dose for half a day. But if you want, you could take it at 2 PM one day and start taking it at 6 PM the next.
