You could try one of several nervine herbs, the two most recommended being oatstraw and skullcap..they use the word oat tops in that link, you'll want oatstraw with its tops (the grains).
Skullcap has a simple precaution: Not toxic in normal amounts, although overdoses of skullcap tincture may cause confusion, giddiness, stupor, and seizures. Due to its use in expelling afterbirth, it should not be used by pregnant women. Skullcap cut with related species can be dangerous (for example, Teucrium chamaedrys, a close relative of pink skullcap, can cause hepatitis and liver damage), so make certain you are getting authentic scutellaria lateriflora.
