PLEASE NOTE: Hops should be avoided by those who suffer from chronic depression and those with hormone-dependent cancers. Do not take valerian if you are also taking tranquilizers or sedatives and do not drive after taking it. In some individuals, valerian causes excitability, mild headache, or upset stomach. It should not be used with other medications used to treat anxiety or insomnia.
