Prior cocaine/ephedra overdose plz help!

Three years ago I was up all night with friends doing the mixture listed above.  Around 10 in the morning on the same day I lost control of my left arm and it started rising up on its own. I rehained control of my arm but then my heart began to beat very rapidly.  I called the paramedics and my heart rate was 165 bpm.  While in the ER, they ran an EKG and injected me with some kind of thing to counteract the coke.They found nothing wrong. I walked out of the ER that day and was fine. But the next day and still to this day I have not felt right in my head.  A week after the incident i was sitting in a movie theater and my heart began to beat rapidly.  Went to the ER again and they found nothing.  Had stress tests, 3 MRI's, sinus surgeries, therapy, neurologists, been to tons of specialists and still they have yet to find anything, I still have not been right in the head.  Thats when they started pumping me up with SSRI's which have never worked. I have tried multiple antidepressants to no avail.  I am currently on budprion sr,(wellbutrin) which has only made me feel slightly better.  
I cant concentrate like I used to, I get dizzy when I move my head, I forget things easily, headaches, low energy levels, I'm just not the same person, it's really effecting my everyday life.  When I move my facial muscles i get stabbing pains around my eyes and temples.  Also, I get what they classify as panic attacks without the heart palpitations. I have been told that i have anxiety issues.  I think it's a bunch of ****, I know myself and I know they are missing something.  Im not the same person I used to be before this incident.  I asked if the MRI would show brain damage, and they said yes but they didnt see anything. The neurologist didnt see anything abnormal in my MRI's.  I went and got a second opinion with the same answer.  The ssri's gave me headaches, and made me feel like a crazy person thats why I am on wellbutrin now.  But the headaches and the feeling of not being myself is still there.  The headaches have gone down on the pain scale though.

I know there is something wrong with me, its been three years and I am not feeling like a normal 31 year old adult.  I still have a constant foggy feeling in my head with aches and pains all over my head. I really dont know how to describe it better, MY blood pressure is normal, heart seems healthy to everyone.  Brain seems ok to the docs, I lived 3 yrs with all these feelings and I'm still alive.  But I know something is still wrong, anybody have any info?
