Brief Answer:
Significant interaction and adverse effects

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to HCM and thanks for your query.
Diazepam(Valium), Vicodin and Percocet components that are sedative and therefore there is the dangers associated with decreased alertness. Long term use leads to dependence or addiction.
Diazepam increases the metabolism of paracetamol which is present in the other two and the amount of metabolites that are toxic to the liver are increased.
