Also, can valerian be taken with Celexa and Ambien?
Brief Answer:
It may cause extreme sedation
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for reverting back to me.
Since valerian, celexa and ambien all cause sedation and dizziness as side effect it may result in extreme sedation if used all together. In my view it should be avoided as far as possible.
I hope this helps you further.
Thanks and regards.
