Default Woke up and can't see--please advise

Hi all,

I realy need advice, as soon as possible. Sorry for any typos. My sleep doc recently switched me from provigil to adderall and then meth as I was having trouble keeping my eyes open and staying awake.

As it appeared the mestinion wasn't helping, my neuro advised I discontinue for now.

The meth worked well for both keeping me awake and keeping my eyes open. I have trouble with the eyes when the meth was wearing off at the end of the day, and got the sleep doc to adjust it so it was close to bedtime rather than the middle of the day.

Woke up this morning worse than ever...couldn't open my eyes at all to get out of bed. Ended up making my way to the bathroom for meds at about 9 and called in sick. Meth is definately working, not tired at all, but I can still barely open my eyes. and don't know what to do.

Should I try Mestinon to see if I get any benefit? Try another 5mg of the amphetamine (allowed up to 30, but have been taking 25), or should I see if the ER will give a shot of epi, as I've suspected the norepinephrine has been what's helping all along? Thanks in advance.
