Hello Everybody here's my story, So let me start by saying I have suffered from Anxiety for almost 3 years now, but I had overcome it. After being anxiety free for over a year, I had gave botox a try (xeomin to be exact.) The first time I had 15 units put in and had hardly any problems. I noticed headaches because I had never been a headache person before. I really didn't realize it could be from the botox. I went for my 2nd round 4 months later and was fine the first few days. Then it all started! Anxiety, NOT LIKE I EVER HAD BEFORE. I literally thought I was in the process of dying at the moment & it lasted for hours. I felt like I was choking, and extremely fatigued my chest felt heavy and I thought I couldn't breathe. I also felt nauseated and brain fog like I was in a dream state. I was calm although I was freaking out on the inside. My husband had also tried the injections when i went for my 2nd time. He was completely fine and still is, he never had any problems. Like I said this anxiety for me was the worst, but since i have had it before I knew where to start first and foremost these injections are toxins which could obviously be damaging. So I started by treating the anxiety, what helps me is I go to hypnotherapy which helps me relax and stay calm. There are also wellness centers you could try as well & I always try to maintain a healthy lifestyle inside and out. I take lots of vitamins to help my body get rid of the toxins, I drink lots of water 2L a day. I bought a large water bottle to help me keep track. When I have a bad day I drink this tea called tila tea, to help calm my nerves its amazing! I also do cardio kickboxing. I noticed that when my anxiety is controlled I can handle the other symptoms better. I take an ibuprofen as soon as I feel a headache coming on, I also get stomach cramps. I take Ibuprofen for that. I also found that these little things that help me. I listen to meditation music through out the day to keep me calm and I burn sage, call me crazy but it works especially for my small children because when I have a bad anxiety attack they feed off it too which makes everything worse. I think eating healthy, drinking lots of water, detoxing helps it all so much to purify my body and get rid of that bad stuff I had injected into me. Most of all remain positive, and don't focus on it because it WILL control your life if you let it. & DO NOT take anxiety meds! I personally think it will create other problems in the long run. & I WILL NEVER EVER put that stuff into my body again, Now i see why so many celebs turn to drugs and overdose & so have you... I just felt so trapped in my own body and almost paralyzed it affected everyone around me. Some people are lucky to have had no problems with it but others not so much. but I tell you this, it will get better... There is hope!
