Should I take the valerian root knowing this or should I flush the bottle down the toilet.
Valerian root really does calm my nerves but I hadn't taken it
since I was on Abilify because of fear that it would interact with new meds and stuff

MONITOR: Central nervous system- and/or respiratory-depressant effects may be additively or synergistically increased in patients taking multiple drugs that cause these effects, especially in elderly or debilitated patients.
MANAGEMENT: During concomitant use of these drugs, patients should be monitored for potentially excessive or prolonged CNS and respiratory depression. Ambulatory patients should be counseled to avoid hazardous activities requiring complete mental alertness and motor coordination until they know how these agents affect them, and to notify their physician if they experience excessive or prolonged CNS effects that interfere with their normal activities.
Just as a precaution, I would call my pdoc about these meds as soon as I could, to see what he/she says.
Its better to be safe than sorry!
