The Valium is used basically to calm you and allow you to get some sleep, so the xanax would probably be ok.  BUT A WARNING; Use these as little as possible, only as needed for a short time. They are a Benzo and addictive. If you use to much for to long, you'll get hooked on that and you cannot, under any circumstances go cold turkey with a benzo due to seizures and death. So if you use the xanax, use it spareingly and not for a long time, a week to 10 days. Be careful with that stuff, it can be a nightmare.

AVISG  is very good with taper plans. If you PM her, she will help you work out some kind of plan.

Welcome to the forum. I'm not sure what adapex is, but someone else might. If you feel tappering is what will work for you, give it a try. Most people find it hard to do unless you have someone hold your pills and dole them out to you. Do you have someone that can do that?  How long have you been taking pain meds?
