I have no chores to do today and I am maniacal. I took 1 valerian root but the thing is I am worried about it because I read something about not taking it if your hypoglycemic and there's a possible chance I could be. Doctor told me that I am not......but still I dunno. I had one low blood sugar test and she said that one blood result doesn't make someone hypoglycemic but she won't test me for it either which is strange. She said if I am not shaky nauseated or have the sweats then I am not....and granted I don't feel I have those symptoms....but I am overworrying. Will someone tell me to calm down and it will be okay?? I haven't felt the effects of the valerian root yet but I am sure that I will be feeling the effects of it soon.

Am feeling the effects of it now....boy am I sleepy.....But I can't go to sleep I have two kids to watch. I have a 8 yr old and she has her friend spending the night tonight.....I felt slightly naucious when I took it and started to feel the effects but the nausea subsided and I am fine again. I think it's the jitters causing the nausea.

Do you realize that herbs like valerian root can react with our meds? Just thought I'd let you know.

I contacted the pharmacist and they said abilify and valerian root are safe to take together.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
