Drug interactions.: Per Drugs.Com drug interaction checker there is possibility of moderate interaction. "Using nortriptyline together with methocarbamol may increase side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, confusion, and difficulty concentrating. Some people, especially the elderly, may also experience impairment in thinking, judgment, and motor coordination." See:

Not advised: Because both drugs are nervous system depressants, there is a potential for at least an additive effect. Spacing out the medications and avoiding activities like driving or operating machinery would be a start.
