you are depressed and for that u have been prescribed the benzodiazepin bromazepam and antidepressant escitalopram.. so these meds are appropriate for your diagnosis of depression. i dont know why u are given the metoprolol which is a cardioselective beta blocker. if your heartbeat is fast due to anxiety then there is no need of metoprolol, but if u have some problems with your heart then u shud consult your doctor about the reason why u have been given metoprolol. i dont know u have undergone echocardiography or not... if not then go for it..for anxiety propranolol is better option than metoprolol. so i ll suggest u shud confirm the reason why u r given metoprolol and change the medications accordingly...
