insomnia
"I have used valerian off and on for 26 years, no major side effect, at low doses. Usually I used this herb for insomnia which it works well. Also can be used for anxiety and stress; again at a low dosage. I would recommend on line information for your questions plus herbal specialists in your community. Do not  exclude your doctor a MD or equally qualified professional. I am now adding valerian at night in conjunction with 
Zyprexa and Klonapin.   Zyprexa at 15 mg on e pill, Klonapin at 0.50 or 1 mg dose.  Do not recommend this combination yet to anybody. I am in the experimental phase.  Stormy1959"
