Ptosis from Botox
Sometimes depending upon the placement of the Botox injections, small "hoods" can be caused by the eyelids, which makes people look tired (ptosis). It's important that you always visit a board-certified injector for these types of procedures, and next time, make sure your injector knows this happened before so that he/she can adjust a bit to avoid ptosis happening again. The good thing about Botox is that it is temporary and this will resolve within a few months.

Tired Look After Botox
Without photos it is difficult to pinpoint the exact reasons as far as why you look tired after your Botox treatment.
Some possibilities might include eyelid droop, which occurs in about 1% of all treatments.
The effects are temporary and should wear off in a few weeks.
If the dosage injected in the upper face was too high, excess Botox can migrate and affect unintended areas of the face, particularly the muscles responsible for opening your eyes.

Tired appearance after BOTOX
BOTOX Cosmetic is a wonderful tool for giving a rejuvenation appearance. However, the way its utilized and placed will vary from Dr. to Dr, and now a days from Spa to saloons. There is so much variability in how BOTOX can be used. Without photos it is hard to asses, but I agree with Dr Elam's post.

Botox injections
Botox needs to injected by a skilled practitioner so that the placement helps raise the brows while removing the lines. If the Botox is injected in areas above the brow that have caused them to drop then this may give the appearance of looking tired. The effects of Botox wear off in about three months so this will be temporary and should improve as it dissipates. Best regards!
