I usually have a hard time staying asleep once I go to bed, always tossing and turning and waking up during the night. When I take the valerian root before bed, I fall asleep easier, stay asleep all night, and really feel rested when I wake up in the morning; not groggy like usual.

I felt like I had a bad hangover and it also made my head feel tingly and numb;not a great way to start the day. It also did not help me sleep it just made me groggy all day.All naturall supplements aren't always so all natural.

Could not understand why I have had a headache off and on for 2 weeks. Also, skin itchiness relieved by Benadryl.I think I need to just adjust my dose of Clonazepam which I have been trying to get off of. That works for me great. Under a LOT of stress right now.

I find it works great, but I have had the occasional headache during the day. Has anybody else experienced headaches the next day?

Had started having trouble with insomnia and anxiety at bedtime. I began taking this supplement and have had wonderful, restful sleep. Puts me to sleep within 30-45 minutes and I stay asleep all night. I would recommend it to anyone.

I have been taking Valerian Root for about 1 week. It has worked very well for helping me rest at night and for treatment with my overactive bladder. I love this stuff.

I have used Valerian Root for 15 years for pain releif in my joints and back, headaches and for a restful sleep. I use capsule 500mg so I do not smell the strong fragrance. I take one during the day and 1 to 2 at night before going to bed. Fantastic and wonderful Valerian Root

I have used valerian for help with sleep and tremors. It has been effective for both. Use it for sleep in combination with melatonin and the two together help me go to sleep and stay asleep.

I started taking this supplement because I was tired of using Ativan to sleep and for anxiety. I have found that it works better, non-addictive, no horrible side effects, and I feel great. It does smell horrible, but I would take any day over using an addictive medication.

Helps enormously with getting me to sleep. Not great at keeping me asleep for more than 3-4 hours, though. No drowsiness when I get up, in comparison with other preparations, so it's the only one I take.

I'm a 58 year old male. I have used valerian root for several months. I get up everynight to go to the restroom. I used to be unable to get back to sleep. Since I have been using valerian I'm always able to return to sleep immediately. I have not noticed any side effects. The product does have a peculiar odor but it is tolerable. I would recommend this product to anyone who has sleep difficulties.

I have trouble staying asleep. When I take valerian root I sleep all night and wake up around 7 am feeling refreshed. It's great!

Works great putting me to sleep, and keeping me that way. Though it does make me a bit groggy in the AM, so be prepared to drink a lot of coffee.

Not helpful at all. It really upset my stomach in a painful way. But, it might work different on others.
