Valerian Root

[Lucky]

I bought a bottle of this stuff a couple weeks ago on the advice of a member here and I must say this drug is astoundingly powerful! If I take 1600-2000 mg before going to bed I ALWAYS:

1. Sleep well through the night
2. Wake up refreshed
3. Have intense dreams-AND recall them in great detail


Anyone else trying this on a daily basis? I love this stuff, the dreams are fantastic!

Hello Lucky,

Would you be so kind as to give a little more detail on what you are taking there? What brand name are you using?

Thanks

if you meet a shady character who deals soap, be VERY careful.

its called "Valerian Root", I bought 100 capsules at walmart under the "spring valley" brand for a about five bucks.

Probably just the placebo effect.

Oh Lucky, I always had a sneaking suspicion that you liked the root.

Believe it or not, this is natural, from a plant! :Q //*note: sarcasm

Not something the big drug comapnies are pushing.

 

[SuperTool]

I know in Russia it's used quite a lot as a calming sedative drug. It does have some of the effects as you described.

 

[Targaryen]

I just went down to the local walgreens and bought some, I hope this stuff works. =D

Heh...yeah.

But Valerian just has this weird poop/ginseng thing going on that turns my stomach. :disgust:

 

[BillDKiller]

Isn't it weird that some of this stuff that's been around for 1000 years works better than prescription drugs? The drug companies do not like herbs, that's for sure. I take Valerian root occasionally, it works great. If you like the colorful dream effects try Kava Kava root. Very similar but I feel it works better. Smells just as bad though!

There were some djs on a radio station here in Vegas who were eating that stuff (raw) and gave some to some chicks who went down there to the station... they were all acting and talking so incredibly stupid, it wasn't even entertaining. But the chicks got naked, which isn't that uncommon for Vegas, and the GM of the radio station actually called the djs and was p!ssed off. Anyway, woo party party party.

Yup, Valerian Root kicks ass. As does Kava Kava.

 

[LuNoTiCK]

Are there any side effects to using that stuff too much?

I'm not familiar with valerian, but I recall hearing reports that kava was linked to liver damage.
