Q: I take prescribed sleeping pills, can I take a herbal supplement to induce sleep as well?
A: I would not recommend that you take two drugs that have similar effects because this can cause excessive sleepiness.
Always advise your doctor if you are considering switching from conventional medicine to herbal supplements.
