Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.

These medications are very safe to use together. There is a MILD risk of low blood pressure, but this is very unlikely. You may also notice that you become a bit sleepier at night than usual. This may be a good thing, as it may help you sleep more fitfully. Overall, these medications are both safe and effective and have no serious interactions when used together.
