I clicked on my google ads by mistake once or twice.. and also this month my traffic has been really up and down.. a week ago i received upto 10k unique a day.. (mostly from google search engine) while in the last few days it has dropped to 2k unique a day.. the earning has been up and down too.. I had mailed google about it.. They have not responded in the last 4 days.. Worried..
They would certainly reply you . The thing is you need to have patience. I did wait about 1 week and above some times to get a reply from them. Dont worry as long as you are in contact with google and let them know your mistake. You will recieve your payment. Adsense wont trigger fault if your traffic goes down. It wil trigger only if your CTR goes up all of a sudden. Then they will review your account.
If you have done it by mistake and also notified them about it, most probably you won't have any problems. The only problem occurs when they notice excessive cheating.

http://adsense.blogspot.com/2007/05/accidents-happen.html Live link I think you should get your payment, as long as it was only the odd time and by accident, and you did email them straight away. Just give it time for them to respond to you.
I think we have all done the same thing once or twice in error, I emailed google about this and they sent me a standard reply saying thanking me for reporting it but they understand it happens from time to time and so long as multiple clicks are not seen, it shouldnt be a problem, I noticed I was not payed for those one or two clicks - which I appreciated. It must happen to everyone in error once or twice.... Let them know as you did just to be on the safe side again
if it's one or two accidental clicks, that's probably fine with google, do it too many times, gte ban from adsense.
