Keep doing what you’re doing and stay off the alcohol and valium…it has no benefit to our bodies. Try going to a meeting instead of just staying dry. Being around sober people helps immensely.
Found this info on drink aware
People taking sedative drugs (like diazepam/Valium) or antidepressants (like fluoxetine/Prozac) should avoid alcohol altogether
I think it’s quite dangerous because they don’t mix well and you might do things or take risks you normally wouldn’t.
Have you tried cutting down gradually the amount of pills it may reduce the risks.

It’s never going to be easy I personally think the people who make the pills don’t help with the problem… the shaking is the bad part but remember it will subside just try to push through it … it’s a sign you’re getting better . I know it may sound silly but I use to pretend the shakes was a way of my body to communicate with me and shaking my hand to say thank you…
