Well actually - my mother was taking Valerian along with St. John's Wort. One in the morning, the other at night. Every morning and evening she began experiencing some serious shakes, racing heart beat, and high blood pressure. She stopped taking them both. She has found that she can take one or the other but not in the same 24 hours. Valerian and Kava Kava can POSSIBLY interact with other medications that do the same kind of thing as St John's Wort. So be careful.
