Botox While on Xanax?

Xanax should not interfere with the Botox treatments. Many patients, not all, have improvement in their migraines after Botox. Some patients see neurologists to find their trigger points for the migraine and Botox is injected into those sites

Romeo, Xanax will not affect your ability to have Botox injections. The migraine question is a more interesting one. There is a growing body of literature and studies originating from the Cleveland Clinics that support the use of Botox to IMPROVE migraines caused by facial muscle tension and nerve compression. Do a search, or discuss this with your plastic surgeon, who may have more information for you on the subject. Good luck!

Hi, Looking at the specifics for Xanax, I did not see anything preventing you from receiving Botox. Depending on the cause of your migraines, some patients have improvement in their symptoms with Botox use. You may want to see the benefit from just Botox before adding fillers! Many of my patients are happy with just using Botox and save money by not needing fillers.

 Yes, Botox sometimes works for headaches.  However, it is not helpful in all people.  So, don't expect miracles.  As for the Xanax, there is no reason to not get the Botox while you are on the medication. 

Dear Romeo Not every migraine sufferer is benefited by BOTOX. Some are and some are not. There is no way of knowing in advance how you will do this treatment. However, as it does work for some, it is certainly worth trying. Be aware that BOTOX can also cause headaches in some. You best bet is to try it and see if it works for you. Regarding the Xanax, this will not affect your BOTOX treatment. Of course you know not to operate a car or heavy machinery while taking Xanax and never... more

IT is ok to be on xanax while recieving Botox and there should be little if any negative effects on the occurence of your  migraines which may even improved with injection

I'm not aware of any contraindication between xanas and botox injection. Regarding migraine headache ,botox is used in the treatment of migraine headaches and it could have a positive effect your symptoms. Best of luck!

   As you may know migraines are often treated with BOTOX. In fact Allergan is seeking FDA approval for this indication. So if anything you should be helped by BOTOX treatments.      I cannot see any reason why you should have a particular problem with BOTOX and Xanax. 

To answer your questions: 1) Botox has been shown to reduce migraine headaches -- so it can only be a plus for you. It will reduce the glabellar wrinkles as well. 2) Xanax and non operative procedures. There are no contraindications to taking the Xanax .
