My New Herbal Supplementation Update

Today, I went shopping for new herbal supplements because the insomnia formula was not working.

Natures Harmony Herbal Insomnia Formula DIN 02245156 90 tablets, 1-2 tablet daily at bedtime; maybe taken prior to stressful event for relaxation for mild GAD. ***Chamomile contained in this supplement may cause allergic reaction (shortness of breath, mucus build-up, anaphylactic syndrome etc.)

Here's a complete description of the new supplements:

Nutravite Valerian Root DIN 02231166 400 mg/capsule 60 capsules, 1-2 capsules at bedtime. http://www.nutravite.com/

Jamieson Vitamin B1 NPN 00407011 100 mg/tablets 100 tablets, 1 tablet daily with a meal - *** 50 mg results in mental acuity; overdose can result in anaphylactic reaction, but only when injected; no overose has been known in oral doses, except in rare cases. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thiamin

Herbal Select SAM-e 0-6527904110-9 100mg/tablet 30 tablets, osteoarthritis: 2 tablets 3 times daily; fibromyalgia: 3 tablets 3 times daily; depression: 6 tablets 3 times daily (maximum). *** At the rate for depression, a bottle at this dose will last only two days, and thus is too expensive for anti-depressant use. However, at lower dose with therapy, it may be helpful. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAM-e. Herbal Select: Nutritional Supplement: SAMe

Out of all of these supplements, both Natures Harmony Herbal Insomnia Formula and Nutravite Valerian Root has a DIN, which indicates that either product may be prescribed by a doctor as a safe replacement for benzodiazepine-based sleep aids and/or tranquilizers.
