I've tried valerian for something before- though that may have been sleep- but it also did nothing. My therapist was reluctant too, but we discussed it in depth that I didn't want to be on it forever as I'm actually not a fan of medications, it was just something to try to see if I can cope with this new job next week. I'm only allowed to take it about 3 days a week, ad no more than a 30mg dose.
