Brief Answer:
Increased risk of sedation.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
welcome to HCM.
I can understand your concerns.

In my opinion, there is possible risk of increased sedation with these drugs taken together.

So avoid driving or doing and heavy machinery work or swimming.

Otherwise, its safe to combine these drugs.

Hope this helps.
Take care.
