Anticonvulsant and BC

I read here that certain anticonvulsant medications can interfere with the effectiveness of BC pills.
This may be a silly question, but I can't seem to find information on it.
Is Valium considered an anticonvulsant? Are anxiety meds sometimes used as anticonvulsants? I do know that Valium is used to treat epilipsy too.
I was wondering if it was safe to take with BC pills.
Thanks!
