Is this due to shock from repotting or could there be something else that may be going on? I repotted my pothos about a week ago after purchasing it because it had 5 plants in one small pot. Now the leaves are drooping as if its thirsty.

When did you water it last?

Several plants are placed in a pot to make the plant look full as they grow. Acclimating to a new environment adds stress. Repotting adds stress from damaging the root systems especially if you separated and removed several plants. It will take time to adjust to everything.
