Brief Answer:
Not recommended.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns.

Unfortunately, both these medications can rarely cause the side effect of seizures and by combining them together may increase the risk of that side effect, especially at your age.

I hope I have answered your query.

Take care
