Brief Answer:
It doesn’t create issue serious to discontinue treatment!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

There are no worrisome effects from combination that can stope treatment. Most comment effects include drowsiness, blurred vision, dry mouth, heat intolerance, flushing, decreased sweating, difficulty urinating, abdominal cramping, constipation, rapid heart beat, confusion, memory problems, and glaucoma. Every few people do develop them and they are never serious to warrant treatment interruption.

I hope this helps. Feel safe taking the drugs together. I wish you well and keep me posted on how you are doing.
