Brief Answer:
not great options.

Detailed Answer:
Meth goes out of the system at it's own pace and there isn't great ways to speed it. Good news is that the fatal complications are very soon after taking it OR they aren't going to happen.
I suspect you have taken meth before and know how long things.
Taking multiple medicines is going to confuse things, cause interactions and be unsafe.
Perhaps benadryl over the counter or other over the counter sleep medicines.

Amphetamine is very UNLIKELY to take over a day to get out. Going without sleep for that period is not dangerous. The serious risks of heart and stroke problems from the amphetamine peak by 2 hrs after taking the amphetamine.

Basically, letting it wear off is the usual thing that is done for lack of sleep with amphetamine.

and not taking more drugs.
