Never tried Valerian root. Just cannabis.

Thanks for asking.
I have tried it once and am considering trying it again just to see if it was the valerian that caused such side effects.

It made me relaxed and tired but in a good way. I was using it to fall asleep verses my meds. Along with Melatonin. All night I would almost fall off to sleep and then suddenly be stopped. I then would start over and this kept happening. It was almost as if it was sudating me and causing anxiety at just that moment.

I also got a lil itchy and when I would itch the spot it would turn red.

I really wanted it to work for me.
Whats the deal? (smiles)

I would think that it would dye down the chatter for sure. That would be a good thing to use it for instead of a med. If that works for you!!!

Take care of you!

Valerian root is great especially taken with Kava Kava. It will really relax you at night. Nothing sedative, just relaxes and calms. Kava Kava calms the limbic system which is the body's emotional control system and sets moods and anxiety levels.

I recommend getting it from a place called Nature's Sunshine(where i get all my herbs). Everything there is 100% natural. If you go to GNC or a similar place you have to be careful and make sure that it isn't synthesized in a lab because there is a loophole where they can they can make it only 20% or so real and still say "all natural".

hi,
hope you are doing fine. Here is what i take to help me fall asleep : Valerial 500 (Valeriana officinalis-brand Zambon)

i take it half an hour before bedtime

good luck

I use it also for sleep along with Melatonin. Works fantastic!
