Avatar n tn If you later find that you need an antianxiety med, talk to your doctor about diazepam or one of the other long term meds. Valerian root is safe to take with Prozac. The herbs you must avoid with this med are St.John's wort, which can increase the risk of serotonin syndrome, and SAM-e. To avoid an anticholinergic effect, do not use corkwood or jimsonweed. To avoid an increase in CNS effects, avoid hops, kava and lavender.

1008841 tn?1293598960 Side effects of valerian may include headache, dizziness, itchiness, upset stomach, drowsiness during the daytime, dry mouth and vivid.dreams. Rarely, liver damage has been associated with the use of valerian. It's not certain whether the cause of the liver damage was due to valerian itself or to contaminants in the product. Until we know more, people should use valerian only under the supervision of a qualified health care practitioner and those with liver disease should avoid it.

Avatar f tn Herbal Methods - There are also some natural herbs out there that are said to help with sleep. While I have never tried any of these herbs, the ones I most commonly hear about are Valerian Root and St. John’s Wort, which can usually be found at stores like GNC or Vitamin World. There are other herbal remedy's out there as well. I have also heard Lavender can help.

Avatar f tn Some that come to mind are magnesium, Valerian root and passion flower. Those also help with anxiety. If you have a panic problem klonopin is a good option. But even though klonopin helps with sleep initially, that effect goes away pretty quick.
Avatar m tn I don't think cj and I mean to be following each other around the forum, but sometimes we each feel strongly about a question and want to add our two cents. What cj told you regarding discussing adding ANY herbal supplement to a prescription drug with your doctor, I can't agree with more. In the past, we have all assumed that if something is "natural" it can't hurt us.
Avatar m tn I wanted to know if these herbal teas could cause this kind of stomach discomfort. I havent been drinking anymore Valerian Root Tea today but i still have the stomach problems.
652671 tn?1353712165 t know where you live, but you can order all of these things online. I bought Valerian root capsules from Walmart. I bought Kava Kava capsules today from a natural remedies and herbs store called Nature's Pantry. I saw that www.Amazon.com had almost everything in the way of natural herbs. pretty much anything you want. but you have to know exactly what you want. I just took a Kava Kava capsule for the first time and I feel ... funny. not anxious, not sleepy, just ... weird.

1515444 tn?1292610060 It is believed that valerian root has an impact on the availability of the neurotransmitter GABA in the brain. 2.Valium is a derivative of benzodiazepine. Manufactured by Roche and marketed under the brand names Valium, Seduxen and Apozepam, diazepam possesses anxiolytic, anticonvulsant, skeletal muscle relaxant, amnestic and sedative properties. This makes it useful for treating insomnia, anxiety, muscle spasms and some types of epilepsy.
Avatar m tn Valerian root is a mild sedative and has none of the side effects of chemical anxiolytics. I always take 150 mg of valerian 30 minutes before sex and it works. I hope this helps. Good luck!
Avatar m tn The two she suggested were rooibos tea and valerian root tea. I was hesitant but thought well hey, anything at this point is worth a try. I went to a small tea shop in my neighborhood and purchased them. I brewed my first cup of rooibos that very day. At the end of the day, not only did I realize I did not have any extra beats since I drank the tea, but I also noticed I did not feel an urge to check my pulse as I usually did.
574118 tn?1305135284 s the difference between valerian root and other tranquilizers like xanax, valium etc... . I know that the action of valerian root is to inhibit the reuptake of GABA which is needed also it has anticonvulsant properties. But i need someone educated in this to explain the difference. What are the dangers. Although at my age i should be knowledgeable in this stuf but because i never tried them, even i never smoked cigarettes so i can't tell the difference in action between tranquilizers.
