Brief Answer:
I recommend to take the medications six hours apart.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Trazodone has a hal life from 3 to 6 hours.
So, i recommend to take the two medications with six hours apart to avoid interactions.
Diazepam is a fast acting medication to lower anxiety.
So,I recommend to continue with Diazepam.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
