Does anyone else get this?

Hi - I have anxiety(GAD) and panic attacks - and after a panic attack - small or large, I get what I call the panic attack hangover. I am jittery, out of sorts, can't sit still but can't move around. I can't focus on anything, I lose my appetite and can usually only tolerate water. This lasts for days - like 5 or 6. Any suggestions? I am on Cipralex 20mg/day.

I know what you're talking about. When you have a panic attack it can drain you for days. You really have to try to keep up your strength though by drinking fluids and eating.
