have you tried valerian? it's an herb, works on the same receptors as Valium and that group of drugs, but has none of the side effects. gotta take the pill form, tho, and not the tea--it smells like dirty socks. but it works very very well, and is so safe that it's recommended during pregnancy.
Yep, got that, too. Never could quite put my finger on that smell but you nailed it. Valium was actually an attempt by pharma to synthesize valerian so they could patent it ($$$, of course).
Hey, you want another great calmness/sleep herb with a putrid smell and awful name? Try Skullcap. Puts me right out!
Anyway, no insomnia tonight, so thanks all and goodnight
really? I did not know that about valerian!! Six years in the poison control center, and you've just taught me something new! Skullcap, eh? I don't usually have trouble sleeping, but I'll keep that in mind! hope you slept well.
