It’s exhausting because I spend a good portion of the day waiting for my mind to start working, and it’s pretty inefficient. I’m trying to figure out what this is all about, like is it temporary due to burnout, Strattera, or something else.

I find my brain isn’t fully online for probably about that. This is after taking vyvanse and my iced latte (about 1.5 - 2 oz espresso).
I feel I’m awake but not fully with it. At least that is my perception based on attempting to do the times crossword. :) When I first wake up I feel like an idiot trying to think of the answers and about 2-3 hours in I come back to it and it is much easier. No this isn’t scientific at all lol. And I’ve only just started noticing this in the last week or two.
I am not usually particularly groggy after about 10 minutes.
I should mention that about 30-60 min after taking vyvanse I get a mood lift and feel especially motivated to accomplish things.
Anyway no I don’t feel like it takes that long to reach peak operation.
Off the medicine I’m similarly awake but don’t get the mood lift and cotton-headed and less self-motivated all day instead of clear.
Same. I wake up at 6 - 7 and start work at 8, but am not really with it for anything other than answering simple emails until 9 or 9:30.
Jokes on them, they scheduled a 8 am work session twice a week for the next year. That’s gonna be supremely unproductive
