Hiya-
I'm getting dizziness and general unsteadiness and a heavy head every day now and it is beginning to affect my life again. I take prozac, fish oils and vitamin B complex daily but i was thinking about taking valerian root too. I have bought some and it says to take 2 at night but i would really like to take it during the day as this is when i am feeling at my worst. Does anybody know if this is advisable?
Thank a lot

Valerian is used to help you sleep hence should be taken at night. I take it sometimes.

I am not sure about the interaction with SSRI's.
