Brief Answer:
You might not enjoy it

Detailed Answer:
they add up.
fatality is just not an issue (unless you try driving on this combination!).but it all adds up and the mental effects will at least add up if not multiply.

how much of an effect is highly variable the effects of the clonapin would be expected to last 6 to 10 hrs. the beers for about one hour each. so one beer an hour for three is much less than 3 in one hour. personally 3 would be quite a lot even by itself.

heavy drunkenness from the combination is expected but without long term toxicity.

Brief Answer:
Basically same answer

Detailed Answer:
but the more it is spread out the less serious it is. while downing all of them all at once would not count as a serious suicide attempt. you would likely notice impairment and you might be really sleepy for a few hours.

at six hours the clonapin is wearing off.

then drinking the beers over the course of an evening is not very dangerous.

you might not notice the effect of the clonapin.

it all wears off at the same time in combination that they would without combination

I doubt there is much/any withdrawal risk unless you do this daily

clonapin does not have much liver toxicity nor does it make liver toxicity of the beers more.
I had one person with some significant liver damage from not a lot more beer than this daily for years

BUT he worked around a lot of industrial chemicals too

Ok. This isnt a daily thing. This would just be having a few beers tonight. The clonazopam isnt daily either. Just as needed .

Brief Answer:
Sticking to first answers

Detailed Answer:
I cannot advise. treat. prescribe to people I haven't met


and.....

not a lot of klonapin and mostly gone by six hours

and able to quickly type very reasonable questions showing no impairment

3 beers is not a dangerous amount especially if over an evening. especially on a Friday evening


so,here are the features which are flags for potential addiction
e beers is a bit on the high side
taking medicines on an as needed rather than a sceduled basis,

but having controls on board and thinking about and asking about consequences ahead of time strongly goes against addiction,

this just doesn't seem risky
