Lightbulb if one of your issues is sleep

if sleep is one of your issues, then you may wanna listen up....i did a lot of searching for a natural way t0 fall asleep,, sta y asleep, and wake up feeling like i've rested well......it's been mentioned on this forum befrore, but being 'the skeptic i am. i bought some and threw it in the back of a drawer.
2 nights ago i as absolutely desparate for some sleep and remembered that i had bought some valarian rootl......so i'm thinking, what the hell have i got to loose? it['s a stinky little bugger but after you swallow it there was no aftertaste. within 15 (fifteen) minutes i actually felt my legs start to relax and i was breating quietly and calmly as a baby. i know for a fact that it was the herb as i had taken nothing else that evening....it was such a wonder to watch my legs go from flailing all over the bed to resting so comfortably. i'm gonna do some more research on other topics that doc
's seem to throw pills at....maybe i can come up with a couple more natural products and ditch some of these high powered chemicals i am on. more suggestions are welcomed with arms wide opened.....please write any pearls of wisdom.......thank you so much in return,...................peace

Re: if one of your issues is sleep

Valerian is a nice little herb for sleep. It doesnt help me much since I started taking lexapro though. I need something a little stronger.

Re: if one of your issues is sleep

I seem to need far more valerian than the stated dose to feel even slightly more relaxed, do you know if it's dangerous to take more than the stated dose? (I have the liquid form that you put in water).

Re: if one of your issues is sleep

I always thought Valerian root helped me sleep quite a bit. I wonder if I can take it with the Celexa I'm on now though.

Another great sleep aid that I took is caled Melatonex, an over the counter product as well. It has Melatonin and Vitamin B6 in it and I did find that helped me fall asleep, and its a natural product so its not like a sleeping pill.

Hope this helps.
