Yo may be able to just check with your doctor 1st. I say that because some meds may interact with other meds changing actions of other meds or effects it can cause to other problems possible. Such as using cough syrup increase chances of seizure. Taking to much epileptic together can cause seizures, increase possiblebly damage bone marrow quicker,and more. Before taking other meds or changing how taking check with doc. Do so if it' over counter drug.

It depends on what you originally have and how well it's managed. There's always the risk of it happening but I think it comes back to what you originally have.
