Brief Answer:
Side effects possibilities may be increased.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HealthcareMagic.

I have read your question and understand your concerns.

Both these drugs increase dopamine levels in the blood, so, using them simultaneously may increase possible side effects chances of both drugs.

These side effects may be nausea, vomiting, sedation, legs swelling, lightheadedness, dizziness, etc.

So, to avoid these possible side effects you should not use them simultaneously.

Hope you found the answer helpful. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Kind regards.
