Hello James
Thank you for asking the question, 
but i am sorry, i chose not to give you an answer because your question involves the use of an illegal drug. 
I can just say, that both these drugs do have interaction with each other, both affect mood and behavior and it may not be safe to use them together. 
Kind Regards.
