talk to your doctor if you experience side effects.

Mixing depressants and opioids is extremely dangerous. Both depressants (like benzodiazepines for sleep) and opioids (e.g., morphine - like drugs) can depress the central nervous system. Combining them can lead to severe respiratory depression, coma, and even death. Taking depressants as prescribed is good (as it avoids overdose), talking to the doctor about side - effects helps in managing treatment safely, and avoiding alcohol (another central nervous system depressant) while on depressants is also a safe practice.
