I would like to thank all the above posters for their input.
I would just like to say I tried the Valerian/Diazepam combination last night (This was before I had read Arthur's post), and I would like to report that the combination worked absolutely BRILLIANTLY.
I had the most restful sleep I have had in a very long time. What absolute bliss!!!! In fact the sleep was more restful than I've ever had taking either the Diazepam or the Valerian individually. Also I had none of the morning grogginess that I usually get when I take the increased Diazepam dose.
The combination I took last night was as follows:
1) Diazepam - 2.5mg
2) Valerian complex (1 high potency capsule) containing the following ingredients:
Valerian Root - 2500mg (2.5g)
Passion flower herb top - 100mg
Skullcap dry herb - 100mg
Chamomile dry flower extract - 100mg
Vit B1 (Thiamine Nitrate) - 5mg
Nicotinamide - 15mg
Vit B6 (Pyridoxine Hydrochloride - 10mg
Zinc Sulfate monohydrate - 13.8mg
(equiv. elemental zinc 5mg)
The only question I still have is whether anyone else has experienced the side effects that Arthur experienced? Arthur, did you experience the problems you described after just one dose or was it after a longer period of use?thankyou
