Absolutely not. Klonopin® (generic: clonazepam), a member of the benzodiazepine class, and alcohol mixed together increases the effect of both substances and acts as a central nervous system depressant. The central nervous system includes the brain stem, the part of your brain that regulates things like respiratory and cardiac rates. It is not unusual for someone to stop breathing and either die or incur permanent brain damage from this combination.
Mixing alcohol and benzodiazepines (like Klonopin®) can be lethal.

If you are on Klonopin, you do not need to be drinking alcohol at all - alcohol is going to make it harder for you to control your seizures or your Bipolar disorder!

Can a person take Dexedrine after taking Klonopin and suboxone?
A person is capable of taking dexedrine post Klonopin and Suboxone. Some side effects may occur, such: as dizziness, drowsiness, and impairment in thought judgement. It is also considered by many, that mixing stimulants (Dexedrine) and CNS depressants (Klonopin), may cause a rapid change in blood pressure and heart rate, in very rare cases proving fatal. Alcohol/driving should also be completely avoided as these may dramatically increase the effects of the medicines. Also, if taken in much larger recreational dosages, your body is more at risk, and may experience side effects profoundly more intense. In the end, it is possible, but check your pulse often, don't overdo the dosages, and be as safe as possible when recreationally using any drug.
