Brief Answer:
Considerations.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for the query.

You will not be in trouble if this just happened one time. You may however experience excessive sleepiness. This may last for a few hours or more.

Be careful not to operate heavy machinery or drive or complete complex tasks for the rest of the day.

You can resume taking your medications as directed tomorrow.

Thanks again for the query,

Dr Galamaga
