Valerian And Sleeping Problems
Posted: 07-16-07 15:31pm

Hello all, new to the sleep disorder forum. I recently have stopped drinking alcohol before going to bed (totally sober with no buzz or nothing) and was having a lot of difficulty falling asleep. I started taking Valerian at the suggested dosage of 3 capsules 1 hour before bedtime. It sort of works but still takes over an hour to sleep after I lye down. Can I take 4 or 5 capsules? Can that be dangerous? Is there another supplement I can take that might work better? I prefer to stay away from sleep aids from the drug store or even products like Ambion CR as I'm worried I would get hooked on them or abuse them. Please help as I'm beginning to dread going to bed.

OK. So nobody knows about Valerian root. Anything else that has worked well? Melatonin? Ambien CR?
