Botox While on Xanax?
I am having Botox and some fillers next week. I am 52 and have some pretty deep lines between my eyes, on my forehead and from my nose down to the corners of my mouth.
I am a life long migraine sufferer, and I also take 0.25 mg of Xanax sometimes 2x per day for panic disorder ( thus the lines and wrinkles). Will this effect my migraines? ( as in will they get worse our more frequent?) And is it ok to be on Xanax when you are having these products? Thank you.

Romeo,
Xanax will not affect your ability to have Botox injections. The migraine question is a more interesting one.

Do a search, or discuss this with your plastic surgeon, who may have more information for you on the subject. Good luck!

Xanax and Botox
Hi,

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.

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...
