First, if you take a benzo, you have to stop the valerian -- they both target the same neurotransmitter (now, if
you really know your herbs, if
you take the
valerian far apart in time from the time
you take your benzo, you can do it, but nobody not very well educated about herbs should take valerian and a benzo. Second, when do you take your magnesium? Benzos and antidepressants and other drugs that target brain neurotransmitters use the magnesium pathway to get past the blood/brain barrier.
