Welcome to the forums! Yes, Iwas going to suggest the "fog" might be from the stress on the body (especially when it's a involved panic attack).... I also become quite fatigued after such an experience It has become something I had to learn to accept and rest, regardless of what else had to be done...

I think Xanax is quite appropriate for something like this: I say this because of so much anxiety from all the hurricanes here in FL my MD suggested there wasn't any Xanax left in the State (from all the scripts they'd been writing to help ppl cope!)

Therapy is a great idea (I'm biased.) Using something like CBT .... learning to recognize potential anxiety ridden activities/ situations and coping adequately is a learned response: that's a good skill we can learn from our Ts!
