Does anyone else get super tired before the ADHD stimulants work?

I am currently on Elvanse/Vyvanse 70mg, and doesn't depend about the strength, but I will usually sleep 2 hours after taking my meds, bc I will feel tired and sluggish AF. Anyone?

70 vyvanse, but that usually happens 3-4 hours after I take it, like I just got overly productive and then I crash

Oh lucky me! Thought I was the only person, so I felt a kind of stupid... I MUST have something to do imiately after take my first medication (30mg Elvanse). When I sit down then I fall asleep right at the moment...
