You already have amisulpride. Take it 30-60 min. before you want to get up. If that's insufficient, add methylphenidate, and if that's insufficient switch to dextroamphetamine. Perhaps even modafinil would help, but I think it helps less with motivation and it brings greater risks of insomnia than the others.

I recall that you can't get benzos. How about picamilon, phenibut or theanine (L-theanine)? Of these, I've only tried theanine, and found it to be a potent GABAergic agent at 1-2 grams. These are all pretty cheap if you buy them as powders.

As stimulants wear off, drowsiness and lethargy often sets in, and this helps with sleep.

Stimulants. Or memantine.

How about morphine, plus memantine to prevent tolerance? Or maybe just codeine or tramadol?

Selegiline may be an alternative to the stimulants.
