Is there a way to reverse Botox effects?

I had Botox done over 6 months ago in my forehead. The Botox is still very present in my forehead--I can feel it in there all the time, and it is like the Botox is moving around and causing more damage than it originally had. It created two very wide furrows in my forehead, and now it is also starting to create another two furrows on each side of the original furrows. I want it out of my body, is there any reverse treatment to get rid of it?
