Both substances are CNS depressants, potentiating each other strongly and unpredictably, raising the chances of memory loss, severe ataxia, and unconsciousness. The interaction will cause greater inhibition and risk of injury. DPH reduces histamine release by opioids, which reduces the itching side effect from opioids. DPH may reduce the nausea caused by opioids. DPH inhibits CYP2D6 activity which can lead to a reduction of effects in some opioids and potentiation of effects in others.
This combination carries bodily risk and can go badly psychologically. The headspace part often arrives first and makes the physical part harder to notice.
