Valerian root for anxiety?

Does anyone take valerian root for anxiety? I have heard it works well- I got the drops from GNC but I'm not sure how many to take- can I put them in chamomile tea? I have had a lot of anxiety since I'm in my last semester of grad school and just trying to get through it. TIA!

I have 2 suggestions because I get anxiety as well, Acupuncture is a LIFE saver! But if you just want something you can take whenever, go to any health food store or whole foods and get Rescue Remedy, it comes in a spray, or lozenges...I swear by the stuff!
