Can I take 7.5mg and Xanax together?

Why this happens

Both medicines are 'central nervous system depressants'. This means they slow down the brain and body. When taken together, their effects add up, which can slow your breathing and heart rate to dangerous levels.

You should not take these two medicines together unless specifically instructed and closely monitored by your doctor. If you feel unusually dizzy, confused, or have trouble breathing, seek medical help immediately. Do not drive or operate machinery, as your coordination and reaction times will be severely impaired.
