I'm so sorry you are feeling this way.
I felt a lot like this in January when I tried to stop taking my medications. The obsessive chatter in my head was really frightening me.
4 mg is a big dose for Klonopin. On 1 mg I am having memory problems and so I'm trying to taper off of it.
Have you tried Wellbutrin? Adderall is a good medication but it IS an amphetamine, and withdrawal from amphetamines can be hell. Wellbutrin has a similar effect as amphetamines but without the emotional ups and downs that Adderall can have. Adderall tended to make me a lot more paranoid too and I think that's common with amphetamines.
Wellbutrin + Klonopin was a really good combination to get me out of the hole.
I'm sorry you're feeling this way, it will pass. You aren't going insane.
I'm glad that you are in a beautiful place on vacation. Are you vacationing with a friend? Go see things! :) I hope you feel better soon.
