I've taken Valerian root as an extract and as tea, both on and off antidepressants. And you're right, the two don't mix! I tried taking Valerian to help me sleep while on ADs, and I woke up the next morning extremely tired, groggy, and depressed. I had to chug coffee to get rid of the "hangover", and I vowed never to do that again! Valerian root is great on it's own, but seems to react negatively with ADs. Don't worry, try to relax, the feeling is temporary. Drink lots of water to help flush it out of your system. You'll feel much better tomorrow. hearts.gif

thank you soooooooooooo much.
i have got klonopin/clonazepam for anxiety but frightened of taking it because of getting addicted. some people say to take it and others stay to stay away from it.
my friend is taking diazepam and coz its helping her at the moment shes not worrying about getting addicted shes just enjoying feeling ok for a while!
once again thank you......................just off to get some water!
