hi. Has anyone had success with valerian? I just cannot turn myself off at night. I am the mother of a teenager as well as a young child so through the day and most evenings we stay busy, so not much chance to relax. My doctor does not believe in giving me any medicines to help me relax, or to help with my sleep..you know how some doctors are!! please help any ideas or suggestions would be helpful. thanks

i use an herbal remedy that has several ingredients in it..GABA, melatonin,valarian root, chamomille. it is called sleep essentials and you can get something like it at a gnc or other health food places...works good for me with no hangover in the morning... best wishes.................peace
