Need help with 5 HTP mixed with valerian root

Hi bluelighters, this is a short background of my problem: The first time I took solgar's 5 HTP that has 100mg valerian root (http://www.iherb.com/Solgar-5-HTP-100-mg-90-Veggie-Caps/25990) it helped me sleep all night and my mood was a bit elevated for next few days. But then valerian root lost its effect due to its small quantity and 5 HTP keeps me awake at night and makes me feel terrible on body and mind. I thought 5 htp was an all-in-one for mood and insomnia.

Now I am going to order one of these valerian root supplements to use with 5 HTP:

http://www.iherb.com/Solgar-Valerian-Root-100-Veggie-Caps/13505
http://www.iherb.com/Nature-s-Way-Valerian-Standardized-90-Capsules/2062
http://www.iherb.com/Now-Foods-Valerian-Root-500-mg-100-Capsules/48191

My questions:
Will this combination work? (taking 5 htp with valerian root for both mood elevation and insomnia)
Has anyone tried any of these? Which one would be best?
And last, Is iHerb a reliable place to order supplements from?

Thanks.
