50mgs isn't an overdose of adderall; 50, 60, even 100+ mgs/day are used therapeutically.

The big problems with amphetamines are: 1) cardio problems 2) anxiety/panic reactions and
3) rage and psychotic reactions (which can happen at almost any dose in susceptible individuals, as can anxiety reactions)
If you're intensely anxious before you take an amphetamine, the amphetamine usually only makes things worse.

If your current dose isn't doing the job, I think you should talk to your doc about upping it to an effective level (no point going to a doc and taking meds if they aren't going to do anything for you) or you should switch to a doc who will treat your problem(s) more aggressively.

I wouldn't tell your doc about what you've done; that's sure to make getting controlled substances harder for you. If your doc isn't cooperative, just find a new one.

Good luck.
