Hi,
I'm currently prescribed Adderall at 60mgIR and have noticed(if you read my other post) that I'm suffering from insomnia and paranoia. As a result, I want to decrease my dose and also take this herb called valerian root, it's like kava kava...same family so to speak.
Questions: Could I take this herb(I know your not a doc but have you ever educated yourself on other sites or what not, i can't seem to find the two together in my google search)

And, is cutting the pills in half a good choice? I think 40mg would do me good right now cause 60mg is WAY to strong and I switched from 60mg of ritalin(with a few weeks break) and there's a big difference. Thanks!

I've taken valerian to help me sleep while on adderall. I wouldn't take it waking, and at the same time as adderall, as that anything that can make you extremely sleepy and anything that wakes you up can cause heart problems or head problems, which is bad, mmkay... :) but at night, or when its wearing off you should be okay. I'd talk to the doc about lowering the dose and you should be better off.

About breaking the pill, if its an extended release pill, don't break it, because then you're going to be getting a lot more all at once. Basically extended release is made to give you a little bit at a time by digesting slower, but if you break it, it'll bypass that and you'll be getting a bit too much.
