May 11, 2010
Asked By:4056anon in California

I got Botox on April 29, 70 units from crow feet to cf. Six days later I noticed my right eye drooped. The doctor prescribe Lopidine one drop morning and one night. I used for 2 days no improvement, so I increase the dosage 2 drops am, 1 at noon and 2 pm. It been 7 days and I only feel improvment when I put the drops and then it wears off. Could I overdose and make it worse. Very depressing :(( When will I see results?
