Probably is ok: Cocodamol contains codeine and NSAID medication. It is a pain reliever, which may be used for a variety of conditions. Diazepam is a benzodiazepine medication which is used for muscle relaxation, sedation and anxiety. These medicines work in different ways, and they may be used simultaneously. Be wary of becoming too sleepy when using these.

Yes but: cocodamol is codeine with paracetamol. This is used for pain relief. Valium is a central nervous system depressant and used for anxiety, sleep and muscle relaxation. You don't state doses and so only your doctor can give you the precautions. In modest doses they are safe if you pay close attention to the CNS effects of both.
