I take Zoloft and I'm drinking tea that contains Valerian root. I drink it at night and take my Zoloft in the morning and haven't had any problems yet.
i know it has been a while but where can i get the tea with the valerian root?
I wouldn't take the chance, potential for dizziness, respiratory depression, etc.
