I did a quick Google search for the term -- there's not much out there. So either I made it up myself or overheard it elsewhere.
The introvert hangover is the feeling that introverts get after having interacted with a large number of people they don't know. It is normally accompanied by intense urges to simply be quiet or alone. Further interaction with others requires even more effort than it typically would otherwise -- only by sheer force of will. Physical symptoms may accompany this as well -- headaches, a feeling of numbness, and fatigue are all common.
To compare it to an alcohol-induced hangover, such as one would experience after a night of heavy drinking is perhaps overstating the case. But it is no less real.
