What can I do to ease the symptoms of an adverse reaction to botox? During an ER visit I was diagnosed as having a reaction to the botox I received a few days earlier. Nobody in my small town seems to be aware of this, including the dermatologist who administered the botox. What can be done to ease the flu like symptoms and extreme anxiety? Will this really last for a few months?

Anyone have problems with dizziness, anxiety, and depression after getting Botox? My last injections were August 31st and a few days after I started having panic, nausea, phobias, tremors, and a strange feeling in my head. I had 100 units for migraines. Anyone know how long this will last?

I received 25 units for TMJ on 8/21 - a slight headache began that evening. The following morning (8/22), I had a full-blown headache. I took Tylenol and it seemed to help a little. Upon waking the next day (8/23) the headache again was full-blown, I took some more Tylenol, they are helping a little. How long will these headaches persist?

When used medically two of the most common side effects of botox are headaches and neck pain. obviously we know a lot of us have experienced the botox headache but what about the neck pain? I had my botox about 36 hours ago and my neck is killing me. I'm trying to tell myself its just because I had injections in my neck so the muscles are sore because I'm terrified that its a side effect that...

Can anyone who had droopy eyes or eyelids after getting Botox injections comments on how long it lasted? Would you do Botox again? Thank you!

Botox is an incredibly popular non-surgical cosmetic treatment with a RealSelf Worth It Rating in the high 90s. It's no wonder that millions of people in the United States get Botox every year to fight wrinkles as it is affordable and effective.  Although it’s a well-known and fairly simple treatment, there are some things about Botox you may not know. We r...

I had botox for crows feet and over the top of the bridge of my nose for the first time 20 weeks ago, which resulted in baggy loose skin under my eyes with horizontal folds in the skin, plus drooping and dented cheeks. The under eye swelling is particularly worse in mornings, but even though the swelling does improve during the day I am still left with loose very wrinkly folds under my eyes...

Three days after having Botox I got sick. I felt generally very lousy. Weak, dizzy, very foggy headed. Could not get through a normal day. I thought I had a sinus infection. I went on antibiotics and that did not help. Days went by, then weeks. I also had a lot of anxiety and racing heart. Meanwhile i did not connect any of this to the Botox because I had it at least 6 times before over...

After having my first botox injections in my forehead beginning of December, I started with a band of pressure around the area at my hairline with pins and needles which then spread down my face and into the nerves in my arms and legs. This has progressed to a bad nerve condition.

I’d been having Botox approx twice per year for 5-6 years, I was happy with the result & never thought much about the side effects. The last time I got it (by the way always at a licenced award winning clinic), I started having severe anxiety, chest pains & the most horrible brain fog. Also the tinnitus in my ears was unbearable. Then I started doing research & realised that my t...

I have seen where other people have suffered from cheek drop after Botox. Has anyone ever recovered from that? It doesn't seem possible to me that it could happen. It seems like if the muscle is weakened enough to drop the fat pad, that once strengthened, it won't automatically return to normal. I mean, how does it know how to lift it back up? It seems like once it sags, it's done, like broken...

I'm 43 years old and received a total of 32 units of botox in the forehead, crows feet and under the eyes.  So much of what I'm reading now says you shouldn't do it under the eyes and I wish I had known.  My bags and under the eyes have improved and it's worse in the morning and barely noticeable at night.  My laugh lines are more pronounced because of the swelling and the wrinkles under my ...

A couple weeks in after xeomin (like botox), I am in a state of depersonalized brain fog. Short term memory, emotional presence, and focus are deeply impacted. My child and my career, that depends on me being present with people, are at risk from me being in a dreamlike, hardly responsive state. I am having trouble finding words. I am experiencing anxiety. I looked it up and these are side...

Can vision be affected from Botox going too deep or too much injected? It's been almost a week, had 20 units in each area, and since then it has been really bad. I was soooo swollen like a fish all over and had a bad migraine. Worse though is my vision is blurry. I wonder if I should see an ophthamologist or neurologist. I am an employee of the medspa that had an untrained doc do this, and I...

Last week I had Botox to my upper forehead and I had just a few slight lines left in my lower forehead after a week.  So yesterday I went back and my dr who is a board certified anesthiaologist said I needed to have my glabella injected to purport my forehad and it would take care of the wrinkles in the lower forehead.   I had originally had 8 units in my upper forehead, and then she...

It may seem silly to write an in-depth review about something as common and non-invasive as Botox. We all know how essentially it works, right? The truth is chronicling your experience can be really beneficial to you.

Hi all,While I'm not in the mood to share details of my misery (which entails most things described on this forum), today marks the 50th day post injection. In the last couple weeks I've been through a lot, emotionally at least. My question to everyone at this point is NOT when (or if) you started seeing improvement, but rather, at which point did your symptoms fully develop and settle? My i...

Hi everyone who has/is going through the same thing as me!  Your stories have been inspirational and I sympathize with your botox for crow's feet leading to undesireable effects.  I had Botox injected for the first time ever, only in my crow's feet.  However, the "nurse" injected ten units of Botox on each side, and I actually felt the injection under my outer eye rim, so I should have kno...

I had this done 2 half week ago and have in the last week got really bad eye bags the doctor who administered it says its tiredness and stress and nothing to do with the botox - is there anything i can do to deal with this ?  I have always had slight bags when tired etc and told the doctor that i really wanted to get rid of them i never had a problem with lines around my forehead etc they...

More than 200,000 teens had some sort of plastic surgery last year, with 12,000 of those being Botox injections. Would you let your teen get plastic surgery or Botox? New breast and nose jobs seem to be popular graduations gifts. What do you think?
