What Causes Delayed Periods After Taking Higher Adderall Dosage?

Hi, three weeks ago I got a increase in prescription adderall (by 5 mg) and my period is two weeks late, I also got an increase of lexapro (by 5mg) two weeks ago. Should I talk to my doctor about it or wait to see. There is no possibility I could be pregnant and I am not on any other medications or vitamins. I also have not increased my physical activity recently.
