Not much but sedation may be

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,

Thank you for your query.

As aropax (paroxetine) is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor and if you take it in double dose it may lead to sedation at a times without any other serious side effects.
And zapril is ACE inhibitor which is for hypertension, so if you take it double dose for once which not affect you significantly.

May be you feel sedation or just giddiness.

When did you take this double dose?

Awaiting your response.

Thank you.
