Hi, valarian root is an herb for relaxation. Some stores have it on hand.

Thanks, that is what she is doing right now, however, we work 40 miles from the nearest pharmacy....  I am going to watch her today and hopefully these evening she can get a refill.

Thanks

I have never heard of anything else. Can she call her doctor to see about getting her meds refilled?
