Yes they are safe to take together. They effect different neurotransmitters, the Clonazepam effects primarily gaba receptors while the 5-htp effects serotonin.

You should not take Lexapro and 5-htp together. I have read this several places.
can we take ginkgo and 5htp together

It is available as an enteric coated tablet, which does not break down until it reaches the intestine.
I have been prescribed them together along with seroquel......
Most of the clinical research with 5-HTP focuses on the treatment of depression.
Felt it necessary to include the full paragraph, as well as the link.The answer is in bold at the bottom.Alcohol effects the metabolism of 5-HTP. Therefore, persons who have taken 5-HTP should not drink alcohol within six (6) hours of its use. Persons with liver damage should not use 5-HTP. For example, those who are chronic alcoholics, or intravenous drug users, or who have cirrhosis, hepatitis or parasitic infections should not use 5- HTP. Experimental 5-HTP use in animals -- at the same time that liver toxic drugs were administered -- produced heart fibrosis. 5-HTP administration alone did not produce this effect. Malnourished African persons who consume serotonin-rich foods and have heart fibrosis also probably have liver damage induced by chronic viral hepatitis and parasites like malaria. Therefore, drugs that damage the liver -- and probably effect tryptophan metabolism -- such as cancer chemotherapies and powerful antibiotics, should not be used at the same time as 5-HTP.Taken from http://www.wellnessgoods.com/gem5htpinfo.asp
You can but only in low doses, as they both effect serotonin. I wouldn't take more than 50mg Elavil and 50mg 5 HTP daily. Exceeding this could cause a rare bu serious condition(serotonin syndrome).
