Hey Peter: Oh how frustrating for you! Maybe the second dose of Adderall just was a little too much to handle, you may be especially sensitized to it now, after withdrawing for a little while.
Maybe just keep the morning dose only?
The sweating/increased HR sounds like an adrenalin response to me. Anxiety or withdrawal??
The spaciness feeling maybe a response to the Klonipin, instead of the Adderall. Did you feel like that yesterday,or the last few days before you took Adderall again? I have just started Klonipin, cuz my anxieties have started on a mild level again (and I wanted to "catch" them before they got worse) and I felt quite spacey for about 2 hours, about 1.5 hours after taking it. Since I'm taking nothing else right now, I KNOW it's the Klonipin...unlike you, who have so many factors to try and figure out. However, once the kinda sedated spacey feeling died down, I felt very relaxed and calm. But I didn't have a lot energy or "brightness", so I can see how you would want to get that back. It maybe that, for people like us, we can either lose the anxiety and be relaxed, but not be very lively and creative OR have the "bouncy" side and all the anxieties/worries too! What we are looking for, is a "balance", isn't it???
For me, right now, I'm happy to be calmed down again :). I wish that for you too, right now!
Can you let go of your need to be creative and "alive", for a few weeks. So you can rest your nerves?
And no, you are not selfish, you got such a lot to wade through, and need a sounding-board, to help sort it out.
Take care.
