Hi Peaceworks! I don't know about valerian but when I saw Dr P I told him I was taking 5-HTP to help me sleep and he wasn't worried about that. Said I should continue with that, along with first NutriAdrenal Extra and then Nutri Thyroid (or possibly NDT later if the NT doesn't help). I guess it depends on what else you are taking perhaps?

Have you had a consultation with Dr P? If so, then you can ring his office to check if it's OK to take valerian too.

thankyou for responding caroline 5-HTP.

Valerian is an ingredient in 'Kalms' I believe... (and often found flowering on stone walls on the way to the seaside in June) I carried these in my handbag in case of 'jitters' for many years - only took a couple 'tho, before discovering my dodgy Thyroid lump....

I suppose it depends on how many your're taking, please be aware like vitamins & minerals, herbs are not mere placebos - St Johns Wort is very potent I believe, so best be careful. Jane :D
