How long did your Botox headache last?
By Debranne on 23 Aug 2008
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?

I have had botox twice. The first time 25 uynit I had 25 units, this time 20 I look really mad and I too am suffering from terrible headaches. There was no response on how l long these will last!

I agree with you. Is your doctor giving you something like Relpax or Imitrex for the headaches? That is what I take and as he said taking too much of any of these drugs on a daily basis will give you re-bound headaches. I go on line most days looking for an answer for these headaches and learned that Migraines are a disease which has no cure. That really hit home. So we have to suffer with them. Maybe someday someone will discover a cure. I hope to see it in my life time. Take care
nothing helps, doctor laughs at me been 5 months feel like my life is over
I have had a headache for 8 months now. Started getting Botox in the late 90's and seems every time the headaches get worse and last longe, and just like you guys no Dr will admit it. Strange??? Afraid this one might be the one thats forever
