Medikinet makes me fall asleep

My psychiatrist made this big deal of me not being allowed to take my meds after lunch, or I would not sleep. I've had them chilling around on my desk for 10 days now, but today I finally remembered to wake up at a normal time (!!) and was able to buy and eat breakfast and take the meds before noon.

I'm at school now and they're supposed to help me focus but I honestly feel like taking a nap. I've always had to rely on exercise to get my body to be calm like this, so this is... new.

However it's not very productive as I'm still not able to pay attention to what's going on around me as I just wanna lie down and go to sleep.

What do I do lol? should I just start taking them before bed and hope that my focus gets better when I'm not as sleep deprived?
