Hi.

I understand your concern.

There are no drug interactions between nortryptiline and clonazepam. It can be taken togather. Both medicines has different type of actions and can not replace each other.

Nortryptiline is TCA and mainly used for soamtic symptoms with depression.
Clonazepam is anxiolytic and sedative.

Nortryptiline shows action within 3 to 4 week.
It would difficult to give more details without history of your illness and diagnosis.

I hope I have answered your question.
Thank you
Get well soon.
