Can taking 3 Valerian Root Capsules am, 3 at Noontime, and 3 in the evening/bedtime for sleep = on a regular daily basis harm a person?

Answer 1

I would like to say no, but valarian may have a synergistic effect on some medicines. So if you are any medications i would ask the pharmacy or doctor who prescribed the meds.

other than that, you may get dependant on a herb to get to bed. If your insomnia is truly bad you should look up insomnia and try all the little suggestions they have for it like - (only sleep in your bed - no tv watching in bed or eating or reading)

Answer 2

This is what uspharmacist.com has to say:

"Though the nervine effect of valerian may reduce hot flashes, there is insufficient clinical proof of this. Valerian does not actually treat hormonal symptoms but is effective in reducing conditions associated with menopause, such as insomnia, tension, and anxiety. When used to treat insomnia, valerian must be taken for about two to four weeks before an effect is seen. No effects were noted with single doses, but multiple doses appear to reduce slow-wave sleep latency and sleep perception.15,31

Valerian is available as dried cut root, powder root, extracts, capsules, and tablets; examples of combination products include Avlimil, PMS Tonic, Valerian Compound, and Menstrual-Ease.

Oral valerian may cause headache, excitability, uneasiness, cardiac disturbances, and insomnia. Use of valerian has also been associated with morning drowsiness, so pharmacists should caution patients about driving or operating dangerous machinery while using this herb. Valerian toxicity manifests as trouble walking, hypothermia, and increased muscle relaxation. After an extended length of therapy, patients should taper doses slowly to avoid a benzodiazepine-like withdrawal.15

Concomitant use with barbiturates, benzodiazepines, and other agents and herbs with sedative properties (e.g., California poppy, Siberian ginseng, German chamomile, gotu kola, hops, kava, St. John's wort) may result in additive therapeutic and adverse effects.15 Despite a lack of clinical evidence, valerian should potentiate the sedative effects of alcohol.

The maximum dose of valerian root is 15 g/day. The simple tincture is commonly taken as 1 to 3 mL several times per day. Amounts of extract equivalent to 2 to 3 g of the root are also taken several times a day..."
