What is the medical term for this kind of fatigue?

There's a medical syndrome where you experience fatigue and other related symptoms because of an overload of toxins being cleared by your organs.
One example of this is when you're cured from a systemic infection by taking antibiotics, and your kidneys and liver have tons of work ahead of them in clearing the toxins from your system.

Pretty sure it's actually just called fatigue. Fatigue is a sympton of detoxification and/or stress.
Thanks, but I'm fairly certain there's some specific medical jargon for it. I think I read it a couple of days ago, it may have been in the format of something1-something2 syndrome.
The context is quite possibly when I was reading about how you feel bad after taking Nystatin for a systemic fungal infection due to mold (I was recently reading some sites pertaining to ventilation and mold to make sure the A/C maintenance team was doing their job properly).

Long story, spoilered for being somewhat irrelevant/boring:
Because I'm crashing at a relative's house and am no longer exposed to the health hazard of my own apartment, the doctor told me to wait a few days and see if I get better on my own instead of prescribing Nystatin right away - this is an attempt to avoid medication because I've gone through 20+ doctors before coming to a clear diagnosis like this and I'm taking too much useless medication as it is (including Benzodiazepines, which I'm tapering off of to avoid a repeat of some withdrawal seizure episodes I've experienced). I was only given probiotics and advised to eat honey and not have too much sugar.
Surprisingly, I'm getting a lot better and I feel like I'm not positively dying for the first time in 2 years. I'm not swelling up, my scalp isn't burning and contrary to 20 doctors' opinions I do not suffer from IBS.
I had never known my apartment was the cause. All it took was spending a week at someone else's house. Only the slightest re-exposure triggered all the symptoms and they'd last for days.
Now that I'm feeling better, there's only the matter of a bout of fatigue that started today. I'd like to find out if it's that condition I read about a few days ago, and whether it could occur even if I haven't taken Nystatin.
Specifically, I recall reading that toxin release occurs upon fungicide and that my organs could be overburdened in the cleanup process.
tl;dr: I need to look up this condition on the Internet to see if it explains my recent bout of fatigue.
FYI It's a 'Jarisch-Herxheimer Reaction':

The article makes no mention of fungal infections, but many sites talk about "die off symptoms" and use that medical term.
