Several days ago I started taking Valerian and Tension RX (tension rx has 116mg of Magnesium and 100mg of B6) for my Anxiety. I have started feeling bad, lightheaded, my pupils are dilated, face is flushed, I am sweaty, nausea. Could these 2 herbs make me act so horrible. I quit taking the herbs yesterday morning. How long will it take to get out of my system if this is the herbs doing this? Thanks

A couple of days. If not, you could have a cold or flu.

Bad Bad combination.. Valerian is something one takes to put oneself to sleep. Nightol is made from it!
For Anxiety try Arnica, cinnamon, Blessed Thistle, Cammomile, Comfrey, or Bayberry
or Green Tea

If no improvement in 48-72 hours after stopping, get seen.
You may have done some damage.
Hate to say it, but now you have something to be anxious about!
Treating yourself with medications instead of seeking medical advice isn't a very good idea.
Good luck!
