You may have become somewhat tolerant to your klonopin. It happens. Klonopin can cause depression--it happened to me once, after about 6 months of taking 1.5-2mgs/day.
I'm no expert, but I think the easiest thing to do would be to change 1 med at a time, assess the results, and then go from there. Since amphetamines are pretty easy to taper, I personally think step 1 would be doing an Adderall-free trial run. If things get better, avoid the adderall, or take it only when absolutely necessary.
I don't know what to tell you about the Klonopin. Taking niacinamide can boost benzos. You could try tapering off of it, but do it very slowly--benzo withdrawal can be a pain, and the process should take at least 4-6 weeks if you've been taking a full dose for years.
Anyway, try to take 1 thing at a time, be patient, and maybe consider supplements and/or talk therapy...that's my advice, for what its worth.
Good luck.
