I have recently found that my all day exhaustion is a little known (to me, anyway) but major symptom of hay fever.
One ingredient in sinus meds (maybe psuedoephidrin - ignore spelling, phoenetically: su-e-do-ef-a-drin) is banned in Olympics because it is a 'pepper upper'. Here (unsure about USA), Sudafed is a common brand name that is readily available.
Also maybe try an antihistamine, to see if it may be allergy related. But make sure you find a non-drowsy version or you'll be worse off! The non-drowsy will also have some form of PU. Sometimes you can even find a combination of the sinus & hayfever meds. (Hayfever stuff here includes Telfast, Teldane, Clorivax...)
If you're really struggling through the day, instead of coffee maybe you need some regular coke? (The fizzy kind you drink)
How is your sleeping at night going?
I love you GregStar,
R
