Are there any concerns that I should note with taking these 2 drugs at the same time. The drugs were prescibed separately and are currently being taken together and are there any side affects.
Thanks

The primary concern you might have relates to sedation. Whether this is
problem will be determined by what time of the day you are taking these
medications. If they are taken at bedtime, then this is obviously not
a problem. You can build tolerance to this type of side effect, but
just be cautious until you know how they affect you. Reactions to
medications are very individual.

Both drugs are rather sedative, and their effects are at least additive,
so you might find yourself more drowsy than you’d like to be. You should
let both doctors know of the drugs the other has prescribed.
