you could have warned me gang about overdose on valerian.i thought my casto bug was lasting a little to long an the store was running out of toilet paper. then i read an artical that to much valerian after a time can cause gastro problem, s i should have guest really. with no set guidlines i was takeing about 3000 to 4000 mg a day , i mean the tabs are 450mg . some bad info on the net lead to my overdoseing,i went in the herb shop an they said 900mg a day.so dont always believe what you read on some websites. soon as i went down to 900 mg the sh*ts surrendered. mind the weight lose was good but its back on again now after being able to eat real food instead of energy drinks an biscuits.im a nob for takeing to many tabs i still get the more is better atitude, i think i have learned my lesson this time so think on buddies valerian is great in the right dose. mannic666

That is an awful lot of Valerian -- and one also has to look at the active ingredient, does the capsule/liquid/etc say how much volatile ingredients in it or are you just ingesting raw valerian powder which is even harsher I think than extracted.And I don't know about diarrhea but I do know that when my sleep problems were at their mildest so Valerian had some GABA properties (theoretically one of the possible ways it works) for me (and I used liquid or liquigels or things like that), I would find an upset stomach the day after. It is a common side effect, as is depression which I saw a little bit. But then Benadryl does that for me too to a little extent (post use depression)
I would definitely not be taking gram doses of it.
