I'm also thinking that a stim is out of the question, for several reasons. I wonder if protriptyline might be the answer.

It might possibly be involved in your presentations - even the narcolepsy, although I would have to look into that more. It might be nice to try a pure antimuscarinic and not confound any results with what protripyline does.
