> valerian update: ingredients: total carbohydrates???700 mg, calcium 40 mg and valerian 1 g (1000mg). today was one of the most miserable days ever....and i didn't sleep all that well. kept waking up....but today my head ached and i felt nauseated most of the day?????
> i am not taking it tonight. will go back to store manana. thanks, patwhat's with all the carbohydrates???
I have never had good luck with Valerian. Maybe you are allergic???
The luck I have had is with Benadryl, Tylenol night, and obviously Ambien.
I have stayed awake many a night with Valerian, and other herbs....no good with homeopathics either.
I have used Melatonin too. The kind you put under your tongue and let it melt. Source Naturals....the kind you swallow doesn't work for me????
Oh Pat, be careful. It sounds like you may have reverse reactions to herbs. One's that are supposed to make you sleepy are stimulants. I really don't understand it but some of us are in that camp.
Herbs for sleep keep me awake.
Lots of luck....I would be real careful and do one thing at a time and keep a diary...
