I wouldn't want to take them together at all. The problem is that I've been taking diazepam for 3 years. I need to withdraw off of it slowly. If I start taking something like reserpine soon, I will still probably be on diazepam to an extent.

I've read that reserpine works very well. I figure that if the side-effects are too much, I could just stay on diazepam and think of something else.
