Brief Answer:
Yes it can be taken

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

I read your query and understand your concerns.

Librium have no interaction with any of the current medications and can be taken safely. Having said this 0.5 mg clonazepam equals to 10 mg of librium and take care to limit your librium dose to 100-120 mg maximum per day. For example if you are taking clonazepam 2 mg the librium dose should not exceed 60-80 mg per day. Similarly if clonazepam dose is just one mg librium can be taken 80-100 mg per day.

I hope this helps you.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
