valerian and ambien

Posted by brian on April 05, 1998 at 20:33:43:

I have taken ambien for insomnia with some good results. When ambien is not available, I've also taken a combination of valerian, skullcap, and passionflower also with good results (15-30 drops of tincture). I've lately had headaches the morning after taking the valerian mix. Is there a problem with excessive use of valerian? Also, is ambien addictive? I began with 10 mg per night and reduced that to approx. 2-3 mg. per night before I began having problems getting to sleep again.
