Hi I suffer from GAD and PD I have tried antidepressants but I don't like the side effects as they make my anxiety 100 times worse so I'm looking for herbal remedies I have tried rescue pastilles but they don't do anything. I have been looking online and came across valerian root a lot of people are saying it has some same effect as diazepam without the addictive consequences I have ordered some hoping it will help me relax the way diazepam did I know it's not going to be as strong/good as diazepam just wanted to know has anyone tried this before and what was the outcome x
