Brief Answer:
Components can be taken individually.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. Instead of Tancodep (Diazepam & Imipramine combination) you can take the ingredients individually as in Tofranil (Imipramine) and Valium or Diastat (diazepam). Both of them are available in generic form although these are prescription medicines. You can also ask your doctor to prescribe alternate medicines based on your clinical conditions.

Let me know if I could help further.

Regards
