Detailed Answer:
Hello thanks for asking from HCM for your health related queries

Nucynta is Tapentadol and the drug is an opioid analgesic drug. The drug is a good drug for control of pain. Clonazepam is benzodiazepine drug and the drug is a good anti anxiety and also sedative hypnotic drug.

Both these drugs are known to cause sedation and concomitant use of these drugs may result in increased sedation and increased sleepiness. So if you have prescription of both these drugs even then try to keep a gap of at least 1-2 hours between the doses of the drugs to prevent excessive sedation. Over all there is no serious contra-indication for use of these drugs simultaneously. There are no severe drugs interactions. They can be taken together.

Please take the drugs as per your prescribed doses only. I hope this helps you. Please don't hesitate to ask again for more doubts.

Thanks, take care.
