I too take Celexa, 40 mg., every night an hour before retiring. I found it made me a bit spacy when I took it in the morning. I now have almost no noticeable side effects (I do have trouble sleeping but cannot say for sure that Celexa is the cause, or that it would be any different taken in the morning, as Celexa has a 30 hour half-life).

There are so many other options and I feel your body's telling you something if you're having a really bad "trip" initially (I wasted a lot of time and grief on Serzone and Zyprexa because of the "need for things to kick in").
