    I only took it for about 3 days because it made me tireder and more sluggish. I use Valerian to sleep at night; it's a herb.

      I was told to take it about an hour before bed because it will make you tired. We're you taking it mid day?

      Yes an hour or half an hour before bed, I don't take it in the day time.

      Oh you mean Amitriptaline; before bed but I'd wake up more exhausted than usual whereas I don't with Valerian.

    I take it at night before I go to bed to help me sleep as I get alot of pain in my hips which can keep me awake. I sleep better with it but I did put on a bit of weight taking it.
