Detailed Answer:
Valerian is a herbal products and it shouldnt have any serious side effects but of taken with other sedatives and antidepressants such as paroxetene, it may cause prolonged sleepiness. So it is not advisable to combine with sedatives such as alprazolam. PAroxotene and valerian can be taken but it should be taken separated at least 8 hours
