Is It Safe For Me To Take Extra 20 Mg Adderall?

I have suffered from severe agoraphobia since I was 17. I am adhd and take adderall. I have PTSD which caused the agoraphobia to go out of remission and return , now I take 8 mg klonopin, 60 mg adderall, 600 mg seroquel. I am physically extremely healthy, my blood pressure is low, it s now 100/80. I was having severe panic to the point of things looking unreal, I was terrified to get off my bed, my brain was going a mile a minute. Out of desperation I took an extra 20 mg adderall, it worked so well I forgot my 4 mg nightly klonopin, and only needed half my dose of seroquel, I tried it the next day with same results, I m afraid to tell my psychiastrists, what do you think I should do

hi dear,
for panic with agoraphobia there are several other medication available then amphetamines which works best in panic with agarophobia like SSRI ( selective serotonin re uptake inhibitor ) exp paroxetine, sertraline, etc also SNRI ( serotonin and nor epinephrine re uptake inhibitor ) exp desvenlaflexine, venlaflexine etc also works best.
Benzodiazepins also works best with above group.
so discuss with your doctor .
Thank you

Psychiatrist Dr. Abhishek Kapoor's  Response
Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

Maximum dose of adderall is 70 mg and you have taken 80mg. In that case, nothing to worry. You can carry on with 60mg of adderall and in case, you feel some anxiety, you can take klonopin. You can also consult your psychiatrist around adjusting the dose of seroquel because both seroquel and adderall have opposite effect. In case, you need further help, you can ask.

Thanks
