GO with your gut. If you feel that 4mg is too much, than don't go there, especially if you've never taken that much before. That's a pretty high dose, if I tried to take that much I would be so out of it and tired and confused.
I ran out of Wellbutrin (stimulating antidepressant) a few days ago and so I was on the Klonopin alone for a while. I felt so funky, memory loss, so tired, confused, sleeping all the time. I felt better since I started the Wellbutrin, I think Klonopin alone is just too sedating, for me at least.
I think adding the Adderall might help, maybe not as a long term thing but until you can see your doctor it's the fastest "upper" you can get, as something like Wellbutrin would take a long time to work. And if you felt like I did when I ran out of WB, you probably need an "upper" to snap you out of this. When people are very depressed they sometimes prescribe Cytomel, Ritalin, or Adderall to give you an immediate response.
Rivotril is indeed the same med. If you're used to taking doses at spaced intervals you should at least try cutting the pill into approximate halves. I know of some people who take the whole dose at night, but you should probably do what you're used to, especially since your body is physically dependent on it and tampering with that may trigger withdrawal symptoms.
You are on vacation, I say take some Adderall and go sightseeing with your friends, you're in France for heaven's sake!!! Get away from the computer and go play!!! You'll be ok!
