Brief Answer:
Some sedation may be there, otherwise no significant interaction

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
Klonopin and hydrocodone(in norco) both increase sedation. Side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, and difficulty concentrating are possible. They may also cause impairment in thinking and judgment. Avoid driving or operating hazardous machinery until effects go if they are there. If you feel such side effects wait for 1012 hours they will go away.
Klonopin increases and ritalin decreases sedation. No significant drug interaction is there.
Hydrocodone increases and ritalin decreases sedation. No significant drug interaction is there.

Let me know dose of the drugs so I can guide further.

Hope I have answered your query, I will be happy to help further.
Regards,
Dr.Chintan Solanki.
