A member asked:
I've been prescribed 5mg of diazepam twice a day to help with muscle spasms, i would like to try valerian root instead, what is the equivalent dosage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Valerian equivalent: Valerian root is generally prescribed for sleep and/or anxiety. Best to start with a low dose of Valerian and increase as tolerated. Generally most do not have problems. Equivalence with Valium is not known.
