Is CBD oil a bad idea if I am tapering Valium and on a medication that inhibits the enzymes that diazepam is metabolized?

I am on Luvox which inhibits CYP3A4 (moderately) and CYP2C19 (strongly). The thing is that diazepam is metabolized on those enzymes and so is CBD oil. 

It seems that CBD oil has a greater affinity so not only diazepam half-life would increase but also CBD oil due to Luvox.

Luvox supposedly makes diazepam 2.8 fold stronger. CBD oil has an even longer half life so I wonder if it's a good idea take it due to all these interactions. A doctor prescribed but I am skeptical. I am afraid that the doses of Valium could build up a lot more if I add CBD oil.

I am considering CBD oil because I am miserable these days and still have diazepam and pregabalin to taper.

I am currently on 100mg of Luvox, 12.5mg of Valium and 200mg of pregabalin.

Your views are welcomed.
