It's a very stinky herb (some brands worse than others), but it helps me without leaving me feeling hung over the way a larger dose of trazodone or seroquel would.
Tried valerian years ago, I don’t recall any effects positive or negative but I must have had a reason to stop.

I’m on ambian 15 mg, seroquel, gabapentin and lauda at night. It has me sleeping pretty good. My biggest problem is getting to sleep. But once I’m asleep I sleep well usually. Occasionally there’ll be nights I wake up every few hours.
