What exactly is the difference (if any) between Fermaid K and yeast energizer and yeast nutrient?

I skimped out making some mead and added 2 tsp of Fermaid K instead of 1 tsp nutrient, 1 tsp energizer. I think I may have stuck mead. What now?
 
"Yeast nutrient" might just be diammonium phosphate (DAP). It's inorganic nitrogen. "Yeast energizer" is usually DAP + yeast hulls + vitamins. Fermaid K is about the same as yeast energizer. Some "nutrients" and "energizers" are the same thing, depending on the manufacturer.

Try rousing your yeast, swirl it to blow-off CO2, and check the pH if you can.
