What Drugs Should I Avoid If I´m Taking Valerian?

Valerian Cautions

Valerian has been a sleepytime wonder for many who have sleep difficulties and it is extremely helpful in treating anxiety as well. But because it does provide an extra dose of sleep-inducing properties, it should NOT be used in combination with Valium, Xanax, or Elavil. Many anti-allergy drugs like Benadryl or Vistaril should also NOT be used in combination with Valerian due to the fact they also induce drowsiness and deep sleep.
