Diazepam may interact with opioids, alcohol, sleeping medicines, sedating antihistamines, muscle relaxants, and other medicines that depress the central nervous system. These combinations can increase drowsiness and the risk of respiratory depression. Certain medicines that affect liver enzymes may also alter diazepam levels.
