Obviously, your doctor will have to answer that one definitively. Have you asked her about it yet? If so, what did she have to say?
In answer to your question, though:
You can start both at once, but ideally you wouldn't. If you start both at once, it's harder to tell which drug is having which effect. It's just a question of reducing the variables, though -- there's no reason beyond that to say start one at a time. It's just the usual, "Doc, I've grown a purple horn in the middle of my forehead, which drug is doing that?" "Gee, I don't know -- it could be either one..." thing.
(Although, I don't know of any drug that actually does cause a purple horn to grow on the forehead... ;-) )
I hope you're doing OK. I'm glad you're still posting here.
