Whenever I have had acupuncture I was always advised by the practitioner to rest and 'take it easy' for the remainder of the day. Not to do any physical work or go for a strenuous walk etc. And to make sure I kept hydrated properly; to drink water or herb teas.
I never actually felt exhausted but certainly a bit 'dreamy' and not very energetic. Maybe for a day or two afterwards as well. I accepted the feelings and knew they were part of the treatment and didn't mind.
But once, an acupuncturist told me a patient had fainted immediately following the treatment. That person was fine after they had laid down a little while in a quiet room.
