How much valerian root pills is too much?

Question

because I recently have gotten off of xanax and am using this alternative herbal pill to ween myself off of the popular benzo drug

Answer 1

A lot of herbal remedies work as a result of the placebo effect, which is why the FDA hasn't approved any of them. They don't actually do anything. A lot of herbal pills only have a fraction of the actual herb in relation to A LOT of water...so really...you'd be wasting your money.

But there are a lot of proponents of herbal medication that would disagree.  

Answer 2

I'm not sure how much is to much but it will not take the place of a benzo.
