Thank you for your information. I am finding that the effects of treatment may last (and progress) up to 6 months and am trying to determine if there are longer term effects as well. Have you experienced any of the following other symptoms:
- Tinnitus (Ringing of the ears)
- Heavy chest (short term after treatment)
- Numbness of the legs
Also, how chronic was your sleep issue (hours per night of sleep)?
Thank you for posting this information. I am currently researching problems people are having with botox procedures. At this point, I am seeing strong indications of botox affecting other parts of the body (and mind). I am currently researching the side effects on the brain related to sleep, depression, anxiety and other conditions including RLS (Restless Leg Syndrome). It is interesting to note that botx is know to block acetylcholine. Current claims are that such blocking is done on a localized basis. Research also shows that botox can spread to other parts of the body including the brain. Linking the two together suggests that botox may have unwanted effects on acetylcholine regulation which may result in sleep disorder problems, anxiety, depression, etc.
Can anyone reading this comment on similar complications related to botox treatments? Please be as specific as possible regarding when your treatment was done, side effects started and eventual recovery (or continuation of problems).
please note that I am a researcher, not a physician. Consult with your physician before trying self-help treatments.
