Guest guest Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 LOL I think it was a joint effort. I recommended it and seconded it with rave reviews on how it worked for her. Bel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 What are you worried about in regards to the Valerian root? Bel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 Okay. The only warnings I have are that long term use may cause depression, headache, anxiety or palpitations so it should not be used for prolonged periods. It may increase the effects of barbituates and alcohol. Other than that there are no adverse reactions. Bel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 Isn't it wonderful. It is amazing to have sleep. I am going on a week taking this stuff with the 5-HTP and I actually got up at 7:00 am this morning and I am still up at 11 pm. I was going all day doing things, I am exhausted and in horrible pain, but I am so excited I actually made it through a day without being forced to take a nap. This is the first day that I have actually went a whole day in a year and a half. Maybe if I keep sleeping, I can actually go back to work, and stop worrying about money so much. Valerian root Due to my fibrofog mind I can't remember who recommended the valerian root capsules for sleep. Who ever it was Thank you!! I had such a great sleep last night and plan on another tonight. I'm sending out Kisses and high praise for whoever you are __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
