Brief Answer:
Yes you can

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I can understand your concern.

First, I would like to clarify that metoprolol is a drug that is primarily used to manage hypertension, but sometimes it can also be used to reduce anxiety by lowering the heart rate.

However, if you suffer from an anxiety disorder, Metoprolol alone may not be enough. So, yes, you make take both Metoprolol and Diazepam if you feel that your symptoms are not under control.

I hope this answers your question. Feel free to ask further questions.

Take care.
