Not sure where to ask: Why do nearly all adaptogenic herbs make me tired?

Hi everyone, sorry if this is a bad place for this question, I put it here because I know many of these herbs are considered natural nootropics.
So, I noticed when taking supplements containing rhodiola rosea, ashwagandha, schizandra berry, gotu kola, licorice root, etc., I feel VERY tired. I have also taken a premix that contained these along with l-tyrosine and I feel extremely sleepy every time I take it, sometimes feeling close to a 'depression' into the next day (if taken late in the day).
Exceptions are some ginseng and ginger root. Ginger, I feel no ill effects from and enjoy it in foods and supplements with no obvious issues. Ginseng seems to cause very mild stimulation, except for the Siberian variety, which again, makes me feel tired.
Any ideas on what's going on here? Thanks!

Thank you. Your description of the ashwagandha extracts is in line with my personal experience (lots of anxiety and prefer the sensoril extract).
That would be great if you start carrying the synapsa extract. I also didn't know you carried zembrin. I've been wanting to try that and have had trouble finding it online (don't know if source naturals stopped carrying it or what but has been sold out everywhere I've checked online for a long time). I'll have to check out your site. Thanks again!

I'll write PLT about Synapsa today.
I just remembered that our Zembrin is not up yet. I just let the cat out of the bag! Haha. It's going up next Tuesday, on our regular newsletter. We are offering it as a powder in jars first. Then we'll do capsules later.
