i was having this problem. i'd take a dose at night and then the next day at work feel like i might pass out. not sure if it was the valerian, but i'm sticking with taurine for now.

Seems to me that theres nothing such thing as a safe herb. I tried St john Wort which gave me the most vivid dreams, and I mean VIVID.Cheers Redbeach

yeah, i get those scary st john's wort dreams on fish oil and zoloft too...i think they all increase dopamine levels and that may effect dreaming, but i'm not sure. it may be serotonin...
taurine mellows me out. i think it decreases dopamine, etc., so you can sleep, but too much and i feel tired and depressed all day. the weird thing is that they put it in energy drinks. i'm guessing it compliments caffeine somehow...
