"I have been going through SNRI withdrawals (AKA discontinuation syndrome) and to counteract the panic attacks and insomnia I will be trying generic valerian root gel caps. After one panic attack and 500mg later, I can say I have calmed down quite a bit. Here’s to hoping I don’t deal with possible side effects"

"I take Valerian in form of Kalms tablets (day time). It says take two but one actually works better for me. It stops feelings of anxiety and sends me off to sleep at night. If I do wake after about 4 or 5 hours I can get back to sleep as I still feel calm. Two are good but I just feel one tablet is enough for the job. I have been taking them on and off for some months. Not addictive. I agree with comments on here that Valerian is better than Valium. I don't need to take every day and have never taken more than 2 tablets a day so far! I am not on any other medication but if you are I suggest checking for contraindications as herbs can interfere with certain meds and vice versa so do check. Hope this helps."

"What is this Witchcraft herb!!?! I use a brand valerian herbal tea plus and my gosh they work a treat for relaxing and helping set you off into a deep sleep. I haven't dreamed like this so much since I was a child! The dreams are intense and pleasurable but some are also nightmares. I feel refreshed after a deep sleep. The effect of the tea is relaxing and seems to calm anxiety. I have sometimes noted a bad belly as a side effects but this was only after drinking 2-3 cups and not with just one cup. Fantastic herb. Magical!"
