A member asked:

Can i take valerian root tea to sleep? i take zoloft (sertraline) in the morning and clonazepam around noon

Dr. Andrew Ho answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Why not clonazepam: Later in the day, closer to bedtime? Especially if you are sleepy in the daytime? Clonazepam is a good sedative, more potent than valerian root. I don't know your detailed history but you may want to discuss with your doctor. Make sure he/she knows you have daytime sleepiness and hard time with sleep at night.
