Eye focus problems, dry eyes, cant keep eyes open, almost dizzy or stoned, eyes look stoned, migraine aura, herniated disc, depression?

A couple months ago I had my second migraine ever with an aura right before it.  Ever since I felt completely stoned like im out of my body or drunk or just not right. My coordination is great still and a simple vision test was 20/15.  I almost feel like if i look at a bright screen or something my eyes cross up.  Looking at walls and corners they almost have a yellow line outside them like when u rub your eyes and see stars.  I almost describe it as dizziness but im not falling.  The dizzy sort of feeling went away for a week then came back for a month and is slightly gone now but I can still tell somethings not right.  I feel in a daze and sleep for so long and am still tired.  When i look at myself my eyes look puffy like im stoned.. It almost feels like my eyes are dry and bulging..  I did get a blister on my eye 5 months ago and the optometrists said i have some thickening of the cornea or something where tears run off the eye.  It went away but still have a faint yellow "scar"? on white part of eye.  Other symptoms include odd bowl movements which are softer than usual, neck and back pain, extreme tiredness even after 15 hours of sleep.  I had a blood test and mri on brain and they found nothing.  I need to get out of this, i really feel like I am stoned 24 hours a day.  I used to smoke marijuana but have quit for 2 months and still feel this way.  I did do alot of starring at tv and computer screens.  Also I have muscle twitches in my legs and i can physically watch the muscles twitch like crazy.. sometimes my eyelids too.  I also have intense tightness between my shoulder blades..  Is this an eye problems, herniated disc problem.  Or just depression?  I cant figure out what to get tested or what doctor to go visit.
Thanks

First, I do not think the blister on your eye is related to your current symptoms.

If you were a heavy marijuana user, you could still be withdrawing; this is especially true if you combined marijuana with other drugs or alcohol.

An alternative explanation for the dizziness and the funny colors is migraine.  Migraine can cause all sorts of strange symptoms that can persist for days, without a headache.

Your other symptoms sound like depression and stress.  You should eliminate all caffeine to see if this improves the muscle twitching.  I think you should contact your primary care doctor again to let him know how you are feeling.  Treatment for depression may improve many of your physical symptoms.  Depression medications are also often used to treat migraine.

Obviously, you should not use any street drugs or drink alcohol until this problem is solved.
