It's a bad combination. Both are stimulants and they accentuate the action of the other. Sleeplessness is usually present in those taking both AND increased stress on the cardiovascular system is also usually present and can be fatal. Checking blood pressure and pulse would show some of the effects of the drug combination. EKG would also be a good idea. The drugs have their peak effect within a few hours of taking them, and they wear off by 12 hrs or at least are far past their peak effect by then.
