Effect of Prescription Meds [other than sleep aids]

I take certain prescription meds before I go to bed [none of them sleep aids, I'm relieve to say]. Since part of my apnea is CNS-related, I'm wondering whether there's any info available about how meds for such ailments as high blood pressure or depression or gout or whatever might have on apnea [the cns-related kind, presumably]. For example, would a person dealing with this kind of apnea be better off take such medications earlier in the day?  Thanks.

not sure about your specific meds but i know that many antidepressants contain stimulants that would have a bad effect of course on sleep.  best to take those earlier on in the day.
