“Botox Nightmare - Houston, TX”
Spent: $65 in Houston, TX
Posted 18 Dec 2010
My first Botox injection, I only had 6 units to the crows feet. A considerably small dose. I went to the ER 7 hours later after dining with my family. I felt a coldness come over me and suddenly my face and hands were going numb. My heart was racing and I was hyperventilating too. I felt like I was going to die. I immediately thought it was the Botox and went to the ER, however I was diagnosed with a panic attack and sent home on Ativan. Its 2 weeks later and I'm still extremely dizzy and feel off balance. The dizziness seems to get worse when I'm at work or at social functions. I have severe anxiety which was never a problem before and desperately praying for healing. Has anyone else had problems with equilibrium/dizziness? Lesson learned. Vanity is evil and sometimes we have to pay the consequences. Do not get Botox.

Hi Southtx,
Thanks for the review and welcome to the community. I'm sorry about what you are dealing with, but unfortunately you are not alone there a number of others in the Botox community who have dealt with the same problems. There is a RS Botox forum about the side effects of Botox for Crows feet you might want to check out. Please keep us updated.
Thanks,
-Britt
