Can you have a drink such as a white claw while on these medications? I just want to make sure I’m prepared because I have a wedding coming up and was wondering if having a drink such as a 1 white claw would be ok? I guess it’s low alcohol content and it’s hard seltzer, which I’ve never heard of before. So I do want to try it, but only if it doesn’t interfere with my medications.

Interactions between your drugs
Moderate
clonazePAM ethanol
Applies to: clonazepam, Alcohol (contained in alcoholic beverages) (ethanol)
Using clonazePAM together with ethanol can increase nervous system side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, and difficulty concentrating. Some people may also experience impairment in thinking and judgment. You should avoid or limit the use of alcohol while being treated with clonazePAM. Do not use more than the recommended dose of clonazePAM, and avoid activities requiring mental alertness such as driving or operating hazardous machinery until you know how the medication affects you. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medication without first talking to your doctor.

From personal experience of taking Klonopin (clonazepam) and Paxil (paroxetine), I suggest you avoid alcohol, although everyone reacts differently, it is not a good combination.
